I’m a total novice and these are my first climbing shoes. I bought the same as my standard shoe size, based on the advice on this site. My toes are tightly scrunched up in these shoes, and after less than a minute of climbing I was in such pain I threw them off the rock face and continued climbing barefoot. I have since been trying to stretch them using a hairdryer and brute force, but I doubt they’ll ever be comfortable. If, like me, you’re looking for a comfortable and affordable beginner’s shoe, I would go two full sizes up from your normal street shoe size.

Disadvantages
Not comfortable
Comfortable, easy to put on and take off but the top of the tongue area is slightly loose.
Robust, decent grip and slightly stiffer sole. Good for beginners or intermediate.
FITS SMALL. I had to size up because i have long and wide feet. I’m an 10.5 for regular shoes, and I had to size up to 11.5. Breaking in period is painful and toe box is very tight for me but after breaking in is done, its a very comfortable shoe.

Picked 0.5 EU size over what the size guide said, but that was still way too small. Returned and ordered 0.5 EU over my street size, return fee for me was 10 euro.
