In addition to protecting the feet from injury, a pair of good climbing shoes can also help rock climbers increase their adhesion on the rock surface, allowing them to use their climbing skills to perform rock climbing activities. Choose a pair of climbing shoes that fit your foot style and rock climbing style to get your climbing skills to fully play. Climbing shoes should be "Comfortably Fit" and should not have any pain caused by squeezing, especially on the toes. Wearing a suitable size for a period of time, the elasticity of the upper material will naturally be adjusted so that the shape of the shoe body can completely conform to the shape of the wearer's foot, but how long the tightly-fitted shoes are worn will not become larger to accommodate the wearer.
Different shoe shapes for different climbing styles
The Last can be said to be the soul of a pair of climbing shoes because its shape almost completely dominates the performance of the shoes. Different shapes of shoes are required for shoes with different designs and uses. Basically, the classification of the shoe lasts depends on the required Sole Shapes and Flex Pattern.
Sole Shapes Sole Bend
Mild: Suitable for classical climbing, training or long-term climbing.
Moderate: General climbing, training or sports climbing.
Pronounced: Technical climbing, bouldering or competition.
Flex Pattern Flexion
Flat-mounted (Flexed): The traditional flat shoe last is a simulation of the flat shape of the foot in the resting state, this type of shoe is more comfortable, will not squeeze the soles of the feet, suitable for general climbing or long-term climbing.
Cambered: This is the shape of the simulated foot when it is in force. Since the toes are squeezed at the front end, the force can be concentrated to exert a greater climbing force, suitable for technical climbing or sports climbing. Due to the need for higher sensitivity, only Slip-Lasting constructions can be used.
IRS--Integral Rand System
Rock climbing shoes In addition to soles, the design of the Rand is also very important. The IRS integral form shoe system (such as Boreal's climbing shoes) is formed by over-molding the shoe's sides with the soles and inserting them back into the heel. In this way, the shoe can be made more three-dimensional and more conformable to the foot shape, and there is no interface between the shoe edge and the shoe upper, so there is no danger of bursting, and the toe portion can also be adjusted to be thinner to increase the sensitivity of the toe tip. Sex. The shoe edge is raised at the heel area to the calcaneus to strengthen the overall support function. The IRS is mainly used in styles that require durability and high support.
Do you want to wear socks to rock climbing?
This problem is actually a matter of opinion. Some people think that wearing socks is more comfortable, but climbing socks without socks is more realistic. Wearing a pair of inner socks while climbing can sometimes provide a comfortable feeling, especially when hanging on the rock all day long!

Just deal with it! Do not put climbing shoes in the sun as much as possible, because the heat will change the shape of the shoes and the hardness of the rubber soles, and even change the viscosity of the glue, when the shoes may blossom!
Climbing shoes can be cleaned using soap, water, or plastic brushes, but never use chemical solvents such as alcohol and oils! Please keep the cool rock climbing shoes in a cool place. Do not use drying methods. Do not use a hair dryer.
