What are the differences between leather and synthetic climbing shoes?

Leather climbing shoes stretch over time, moulding to the shape of your foot for a custom fit. Synthetic shoes stretch less, maintaining their original size but offering consistent performance. Leather shoes tend to be more breathable, while synthetic options may retain odours in warmer conditions.

Are aggressive climbing shoes suitable for all types of climbing?

Aggressive climbing shoes are designed for steep overhangs and technical routes where precision is key. They are less comfortable for slab climbing or all-day use. Beginners or those tackling less vertical climbs may prefer flat or moderate shoes for better comfort and versatility.

What closure system is best for climbing shoes?

Laces provide maximum adjustability and precision, ideal for varied foot shapes or crack climbing. Hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures offer convenience and quick adjustments, perfect for bouldering or gym sessions. Slip-ons are lightweight and minimalist but require a perfect fit due to limited adjustability

Are there men's climbing shoes for wide feet?

Yes, brands like Scarpa and La Sportiva offer models designed for wider feet. Shoes with adjustable closures or softer materials can also accommodate broader foot shapes comfortably.
