How do I clean the bottom of my climbing shoes?

Climbing Shoes   ·   2 Answers   ·   Write an answer
Top Answer

The bottom of your climbing shoe is usually just rubber. You can take a damp cloth and just scrub what ever is on it off, usually everything comes off. If not, you can try more aggressive things such has household cleaning products, or brushes to break down what ever is on the shoe.
