climbing shoes

When you get a new pair of climbing shoes, it's important to find the right fit. You want them to be tight enough to provide good support and precision, but not so tight that they're painful. It's normal for new climbing shoes to feel tight, but you should still be able to wiggle your toes a bit. Keep in mind that the shoes will stretch a bit with use, so you don't want them to be too loose to begin with. Overall, finding the right fit for your climbing shoes is a personal preference, so try on different sizes and brands to see what works best for you.

To stop your toes from hurting in climbing shoes, you can try the following tips:

1. Make sure you're wearing the right size of climbing shoes.
2. Consider getting shoes with a wider toe box or stretch your existing shoes to make more room for your toes.
3. Take breaks and remove your shoes between climbs to allow your toes to rest.
4. Gradually build up the amount of time you spend in your shoes to allow your feet to adjust.
5. Try wearing thinner socks or no socks at all to reduce friction and pressure on your toes.
6. Use foot tape or pads to cushion and protect your toes from rubbing and pressure.
