        Proper shoes for climbing are basically bare feet. You’re issue will be your weight, but you’ll lose that the second you start climbing. Go to a bouldering gym and give it a go again. It’s extremely fun and sans the cost of the shoes cheap to do.

          What? I tried climbing in toe shoes, would not recommend. Climbing shoes are designed to allow you to concentrate your weight onto the very tip of the toe. They’re basically the opposite of barefoot, closer to ballet shoes.

            When I mean toe shoes, I don’t mean the ones that look like you got toes. I mean that they’re not like running shoes or well any other shoe that has a hard sole. More like you said ballet shoes but more flex and grip.
