In the gym, the lifespan of climbing shoes can vary depending on factors such as frequency of use, climbing technique, and the type of routes you're climbing. Generally, climbing shoes used exclusively in the gym tend to last longer compared to outdoor use. With regular gym climbing, you can expect your shoes to last anywhere from 6 months to a year or more. However, it's important to note that individual wear patterns and personal preferences can influence shoe longevity. Keep an eye out for signs of wear such as thinning rubber, decreased sensitivity, or loss of performance. When you notice a significant decline in the shoe's ability to grip or discomfort while climbing, it's a good indication that it's time to consider getting a new pair.
