New Climbing Shoes
« on: June 16, 2011 »

How long of wearing a new pair of shoes should it take to loosen up abit? (Very yoda there)

Also Mods could you put climbing as its own section on the forum front page?

It depends on the shoe really. I went for a size down with my Red Chillis and within about 2 weeks (climbing 2/3 times per week) they had stretched out quite a bit. The Boreal jokers stretch quite a bit as well. They shouldn't hurt when you first buy them although they won't be comfy either, they'll get better with time though
