I believe he said in one of his recent videos, or just in a video he was in, that he downsizes his shoes a few sizes less than he used to a few years ago. I can't remember the reason why he said he does it.

I don't really think there is a general best length. For me personally, I cut them just enough to not be too short, but don't leave enough to hear the nails on the wall. If they are even a little bit longer than that, they tend to sometimes get bent backwards while grabbing the holds, which obviously is not very pleasant.

Climbing shoes can be comfortable! But, that is in comparison with other climbing shoes, and not with everyday shoes. I believe that climbing shoes will never be as comfortable as everyday shoes.

If you manage to find the right pair of shoes for your feet, though, they can be very comfortable, considering they are still climbing shoes.
