Answered a Question    5d ago
I just started climbing, should I downsize beginner climbing shoes?
Climbing Shoes   ·   2 Answers   ·   Write an answer
I am still using beginner climbing shoes, but I wonder if I should have downsized them or not. They seem to fit, but are not snug all the way around my foot, is that normal?

As Joshua answered, you really dont need to downsize beginner shoes, because they are beginner shoes. Once you get past the beginner stage and get to the point where downsizing can actually contribute to your climbing, then its worth considering downsizing.
