	Climbing shoe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A climbing shoe is a piece of foot wear that is specifically designed and worn for climbing.
		To increase the grip of the foot on a climbing wall or rock face due to friction, the shoe is covered with a rubber layer.
		Climbing shoes are not suitable for hiking, so outdoor climbers usually carry them to the base of the rock.

		The first is injection-molding, whereby liquid rubber is injected into a pre-formed cast to create precisely sculpted pieces of shoes such as heelcups or rands, or, in the case of the Boreal Spider, an entire integrated rand and sole.
		Now, using either an inwardly curved midsole or injection-molding technology, the sole of the shoe under the ball of your foot is indented inward, or cupped, so that the edge of the sole has a nice flat surface, while the ball of your foot is kept out of the way.

		Down-turned--a cambered last where the arch of the shoe is raised and the front end lowered, so your big toe points downward.
		You can choose a specialized shoe with high marks for one style of climbing, or an all-around model with a wide enough spread of stars to cover all the bases.
		Shoes scoring high marks for "steep rock" work well for overhanging gym climbs, boulder problems and sport routes.

	Finding The Proper Fit For Climbing Shoes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Climbing shoes are designed to be worn somewhere between snug and exceptionally tight.
		Unlined shoes will stretch more than lined shoes, and in both cases, the break-in period should be factored into how you would like the shoe to fit in the end.
		Shoes for beginners, alpine or multi-pitch routes and any climbing where you need to keep your shoes laced for hours at a time, should be fit about one size below your foot size.

	Shoes: Get a Grip - GreatOutdoors.com
		Synthetic shoes won't stretch at all; the fit you have in the store is the one you'll have to live with.
		When you buy shoes, ignore the size on the box since every shoe company uses different lasts (hand-carved feet that the shoe is built around) that have little or no correlation to each other.
		Some companies figure you'll wear a climbing shoe that is one size less than your street shoe size, but others make the adjustment in the factory, so climbing shoe and street shoe sizes are the same.

		They also tend to wear their shoes a little larger than other climbers, so they will not benefit from the support of a snug-fitting climbing shoe.
		I've been selling climbing shoes for several years now (as previous threads have noted, that doesn't necessarily mean that salespeople do a good job of it or even know much about shoes) and I convinced my shop a few years ago to not sell true beginner's shoes (such as the 5.10 Summit).
		The painful shoes got in the way of my concentration whenever I got to a difficult spot and I needed all my mind to be on the rock the pain was there trying to intrude.

		I bought these shoes as my first pair of climbing shoes simply because they fit and they were inexpensive.
		Perfect for me. After over two years of climbing my opinion is the better the shoe fits your particular foot, the better the shoe is. If you buy brand X because it is supposed to be hot stuff, and it doesn't fit right, you are in for a world of discomfort and poor climber/shoe symbiosis.
		While my friends are taking their shoes off between climbs to let their screaming toes scream, I am not really even thinking about my feet.

		Climbing shoes are one part of your climbing gear that you shouldn't skimp on.

	Articles - Multisport, Sandal or Approach Shoe Tutorial
		Described by some as an "athletic shoe on hormones," the multi-sport shoe is designed to be instantly comfortable like a slipper, more supportive than a tennis shoe but less supportive than a hiking boot, and durable enough to stand up to the abuses of multiple playing fields.
		The multi-sport shoe is also ideal for the vacationer heading to a destination such as Moab who may be mountain biking in the morning, trail running in the afternoon, and rock scrambling and hiking in the evening, yet has limited luggage space-one shoe, many activities.
		Sandal shoes are certainly a niche design, intended for those adventurers who will be spending as much of their day walking in the water as out of it.

		You would want a comfortable, forgiving shoe for traditional climbing, a shoe with high heels for crack climbing, a lightweight shoe with little support and lots of flexibility for bouldering, and a well supported shoe that is fairly comfortable for sport climbing.
		This shoe is primarily for sport climbing, and for "slab" to "gently overhanging" routes.
		Due to the flat and extremely rigid midsole, the shoe doesn't bend well to steep angles; it does, however, work miracles on vertical walls where your feet begin to resemble the proverbial "ferrari" of climbing.
