What do climbers want to wear? 29-Sep-2005 At 8:55:58 PM kerroxapithecus

I really don't care what you wear but I would like to know what f-me boots are? Maybe they're for people who have such ugly feet that the only way they can get a bit is to wear some boots????

anyway a nasty man told me at the gym that my climbing shoes (sneakers in real life) are no good. How mean!! He said his shoes were much better than mine!!! How dare?! I tried to show that my sneakers have a nice rubbery bit over the front of the toe so they are really cool and excellent for climbing but he just sniggered back! Do I really need those special shoes? I find the foot bit quite easy compared to the hands - they keep sliding off anything that's not the size of a dinner plate and shaped like a banana (pointing upwards that is). Don't they make shoes for your hands too???? Why do I need special climbing shoes for the gym???? Does anyone think that's going to really help me?
