How To Choose Climbing Shoes

The right shoe can transform your climbing. Here is everything you need to know before buying.

① Your skill level

Beginners need flat, comfortable shoes. Intermediate climbers benefit from a slight downturn. Advanced and competition climbers use aggressive asymmetric shoes for maximum precision.

② Your foot shape

Ocun designs shoes for narrow, normal and wide feet. Each product page shows a foot type indicator. Choosing the right last ensures comfort and better power transfer on the rock.

③ Type of climbing

Indoor bouldering, sport climbing and multi-pitch routes each require different features. Soft soles give sensitivity on slabs, hard soles give support on small edges and long routes.
