@@demox3500 If you're asking that am I right to assume you're a bit new to the activity? I'd recommend flat and stiff shoes, but you could just as easily do soft as well. If you want to build really good technique and make complicated, fun moves, get stiff shoes. If you just want to send and have fun climbing, go for soft. Downturned shoes are sort of specialized: they're great for some things but not so good for others, whereas flat shoes are perfectly fine for anything you'll be doing. Your shoes won't really be making a big difference until higher grades where you'd rather just swap shoes than train for months to get just a little better for one really hard problem.

Adam comes from the old school climbers, school of thought were you had to downsize like that because good climbing shoes were not really around. Magnus mitdbo 14 times norwegian champion route climber, has a really good video on it, were one of the lead designer of Scarpa actually says it's not necessary anymore because of advancements in the shoes industry and material. For those interested here is the link to that video kzread.info/dash/bejne/foZkm619eNKslaw.html

I've been climbing for 4 years twice a week, I'm using climbing shoes of my size with socks, It's comfy and never painful. I've felt progression during my entire experience, I'm currently challenged by 11C, and most importantly I'm having fun. I don't deny or support fact that undersized can help you climbing better, but it's certainly not a requirement to enjoy the sport or getting better at it.

As a podiatrist and a big fan, the struggle is real because for a pro climber or someone that really aims 7/8 level in bouldering, taking 2 or 3 shoesize under your regular one is important to feel everything and be totally confident in your feet... But god it is awfull for your feet in a long term use, articular, muscular catastrophy, once your toes are transforming in hammer-toes there's no way back but surgery, and once the nails start growing thicker, no way back neither so i wouldn't suggest more than minus 1 or 2 shoesize for regular climbers

As a tip, always try to test the shoe and start with one size under your regular size. It does not matter what the saleperson says to you. If you go 2 or more, you will not enjoy your climbing and then you will lose motivation. When you are starting, technique and strenght are more important than squeezing your feets. Just my two cents.

The plasti-bag tip alone, is worth the price of admission! Thanks.

Useful comments in the video. Although to add some practicalities. There are quite a few complications with buying shoes. Firstly they do need to be shape that suits your feet, otherwise parts can be tight and other parts too loose, personally I have an issue often with having a large toe and getting a shape where I fill out the heel. Try a range of shoes to see what works best. Secondly find out if the shoe type stretches and relatively how much. Leather will always stretch but some synthetics hardly stretch at all. With the latter you need them to be comfortable enough from the start. You generally won’t need a top aggressive shoe unless your a really top climber. If you climb in and outdoors it’s probably a good idea to have one stiffer straighter shoe for longer vertical routes and work ok in cracks plus a softer shoe that is a bit turned down for more general bouldering and overhanging routes

Hi Adam, nice video !

I think it depends a lot on the shoes. My normal shoe size is between 43.5 and 44. My usual training shoes are Madrock Flash 2.0. Those are 42.5 (however, I do have a pair that's 42). But my Solutions are 41.5. They are tight for sure, but still. When I tried 42.5 in Solution they were just way too big.

Ouch. The term "breaking up a new shoe" sounds like that thing they do it ballet. Props

Great idea mixing the shoes up man🦾
