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.

I've been climbing for a few years now and have never had to wash my chalk bag. What happened to yours? Did something spill on it? I can't imaging why one would need to be washed unless you are trying to sell it or it got into an accident and got spilled on! Either way, I don't see why it would hurt to wash it by hand and let it dry out in the s... Read more

Top Answer: When you start to see a hole in them, and before the hole goes through the fabric of the shoe, otherwise it will just cost more to get them resoled and to fix the hole in the fabric rather than just resoling them. The most common place for holes i...
