I would add that it also depends on if it's indoor climbing or outdoor climbing. I don't climb indoors as much as I do outdoors, but usually when we go out we easily have full day sessions, leaving in the morning and getting back at night, sometimes the next morning even.

I have taken a few breaks from climbing here and there, sometimes for a few months at a time, and each time my shoes felt more like plastic than I remembered. It's not to the point where it's a whole new break-in process, but, it usually takes about a session or two to get used to them again. It's really about getting my feet used to climbing shoes...

Top Answer: The two loops are meant to help you pull your shoe over your heel. Sometimes it can be quite difficult to pull the shoe over your heel, especially for those who choose to downsize their climbing shoes, and having just one loop may just make it diffic...
