should you buy climbnig shoes a size bigger?

Top Answer

When it comes to buying climbing shoes, sizing preferences can vary among climbers. However, in general, it is not recommended to buy climbing shoes a size bigger. Climbing shoes are designed to provide a snug and precise fit, allowing for better control and sensitivity on the rock. Wearing shoes that are too large can lead to decreased performance and difficulty in accurately placing your feet on holds. It is important to find a balance between comfort and a snug fit. Many climbers prefer a snug fit that is slightly uncomfortable at first but molds to the shape of their feet over time. Trying on different sizes and brands, and consulting with experienced climbers or gear specialists, can help you find the right fit for your climbing style and personal preference.
