Climbing Shoes

If you are looking for a new pair of climbing shoes , our online shop alternativasport.it is the right place to buy. You will find many models for both men and women of the best brands in the sector, including Scarpa and La Sportiva.
But if you are a beginner who has to buy your first climbing shoe and you have some difficulty in choosing the most suitable model for you, here are some useful tips.
The first thing to look at is the curvature of the shoe: professionals use shoes with a very arched, almost banana-like shape, which allows for a safer support during vertical descent. A beginner can start with a model with a less wide curvature, so as not to subject the foot to unnecessary suffering and constraints: climbing is a sport of tenacity and patience, and you have to level up gradually, just like you climb the wall.
Consequently, even the size of your new climbing shoes should not be too tight: professionals use shoes even of two or three smaller sizes, to have maximum grip, but for a beginner half a size less may be enough.

Other precautions when choosing climbing shoes

The lacing is also very important, which can be of three types:

• with elastic: guarantees maximum adherence to the shape of the foot;
• with laces offers greater adjustment of the fit;
• with velcro: they are easy to remove.
  

On our website alternativasport.it you can find all the models of climbing shoes described above, made of technical and breathable, comfortable and colorful fabrics. For young climbers there is also the Maverink model by La Sportiva with No-Edge technology to improve the sensitivity of the support and with fabric markers that can be used to customize your shoe. A unique model therefore that will accompany you in your first steps on the wall.
