how much should your new climbing shoes hurt
i’ve started bouldering a few years ago and at some point felt like it would be the time to get new, better climbing shoes (mine are some very basic beginner ocúns). but all of them were extremely uncomfortable, until i got scarpa drago lv in size 36,5 as a gift (i normally wear 36), and while just trying them, they felt better than anything i’ve tried before. but when i tried to actually climb in them, it was just so painful. and i know you have to break them in, but this feels impossible, like i can’t even do a few steps in them or do a single boulder without a strong pain. is it normal?? i wonder if the size is wrong, but usually people have even smaller climbing shoes than normal shoes and mine are bigger? should i try to break them in at home before i go climbing? i know that when you have professional shoes, they are not as comfortable as the beginners’, but how much is too much??
