Velcro Climbing Shoes

Climbing shoes can last anywhere from a couple of months up to several years. However, it matters how often and how much you climb and how you climb. For a person who climbs 2-3 times a week, a pair of climbing shoes can last for several months, sometimes years. But for those who climb more often or more aggressively, they wear faster. You usually notice when it's time to change. For example, small holes may appear in the shoe, most often at the toes.

Climbing shoes should be tight on the foot, but finding the right size can be difficult. This is because shoes from different manufacturers can be different in size even though it is the same size. Therefore, it is important to try out the shoes properly before deciding. Also, keep in mind that the material on the shoes comes into play. For example, a pair of leather shoes will stretch more than one what a model in synthetics does.
