Should you be able to wiggle toes in shoes?

Climbing Shoes · 2 Answers · Write an answer

Generally, no. Climbing shoes are supposed to be pretty tight.

I wear climbing shoes slightly bigger than my street shoe size, and I still cannot wiggle my toes.

I can slightly move them up and down a little, but not so much that I would consider it wiggling them.
