Because we are in pain! But not that much pain. Generally, climbing shoes are not comfortable, and leaving them on for a long period of time just starts to hurt after a while. Taking them off in between some of the climbs just lets our feet relax a little bit, and delays the session-ending feet pain.

Usually yes, but it should really be more of an uncomfortable feeling rather than actual pain. If you are used to climbing shoes, it may be fine, if not, you get used to it pretty quickly, assuming you didnt size down too much.

It sounds like either the shoes are not the right shape or fit, or there is a pressure point on your big toe. Or maybe you put too much weight on your big toe rather than spreading the weight across all of your toes?

In my opinion, the problem is less about the actual hangboarding, and more about beginners not knowing when to stop and let their fingers rest. Since new climbers aren't usually used to the strain that climbing puts on their fingers and tendons, it's very easy to overtrain and to get injured. This is true just by climbing alone. Add to that the el... Read more

It for sure can if you wear the wrong shoes! It would also likely be a combination of other things such as wearing climbing shoes that are too small and landing badly, which could be bad regardless of the shoes, but wearing shoes that are not good for you would most likely increase the risk of bad landings. Even without combining shoes and other... Read more

When it comes to buying climbing shoes, sizing preferences can vary among climbers. However, in general, it is not recommended to buy climbing shoes a size bigger. Climbing shoes are designed to provide a snug and precise fit, allowing for better control and sensitivity on the rock. Wearing shoes that are too large can lead to decreased performance and difficulty in accurately placing your feet on holds. It is important to find a balance between comfort and a snug fit. Many climbers prefer a snug fit that is slightly uncomfortable at first but molds to the shape of their feet over time. Trying on different sizes and brands, and consulting with experienced climbers or gear specialists, can help you find the right fit for your climbing style and personal preference.
