shoes! glorious shoes! Hot velcro and rubber!

My new rock climbing shoes arrived yesterday. They fit tightly, and will be perfect for maximizing my edge.
new shoes!

I’m a little concerned about my heel hook, because the heel is a hair loose. BUT, the same was true with my previous pair of shoes, so I think it’s more likely my foot curvature not the shoe design. I may try taping up my heel a bit to create a little extra umph back there.

new shoes!

Tonight I plan on spending some time at the gym breaking them in. 5.12 here I come!

    Good luck with the 5.12

    Are you sure your sures can handle it? On closer inspection they do say 5.ten. Are you sure this isn’t their limit? lol
