How to Fit Your First Pair of Climbing Shoes

A good pair of climbing shoes adds more pleasure to the climbing experience than any other piece of equipment.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Find shoes advertised as "all-around" that fit your foot well. A variety of manufacturers make styles suited to beginners.

2. Choose comfortable, snug shoes over tight-fitting ones designed for experts.

3. Opt for less expensive shoes to start. Expensive shoes are often more advanced than necessary for the beginner.

4. Get the climbing shoes you need, not the latest model.
