How do you like your shoes?	7-Jun-2005 At 9:13:18 AM	MrKyle

If you think tight shoes will make a difference to the grade you can climb, think again. For years I wore very tight climbing shoes when climbing hard routes. But a few years ago I started wearing my floppy old slippers on harder routes - and what do you know, I climbed much better. I tend to have 3 or 4 pairs: 1) Comfy slippers/shoes that I can wear for hours, originally sized tight but not painful, for 90% of the climbing; 2) A newer/tighter pair with a little more stiffness, good heel, and a bit more edge for those occasions when required; 3) A pair of stiff soled trad boots - mostly for cracks; 4) A dodgy old pair for the gym.
