I don't really think there is a general best length. For me personally, I cut them just enough to not be too short, but don't leave enough to hear the nails on the wall. If they are even a little bit longer than that, they tend to sometimes get bent backwards while grabbing the holds, which obviously is not very pleasant.

I believe he said in one of his recent videos, or just in a video he was in, that he downsizes his shoes a few sizes less than he used to a few years ago. I can't remember the reason why he said he does it.

Rock climbing can be enjoyed by individuals of various body types. While a lean and relatively lightweight body composition can provide advantages in terms of strength-to-weight ratio, there is no specific "best" body type for climbing. Other factors such as technique, flexibility, mental focus, and problem-solving skills also play important roles in climbing success.
