r/indoorbouldering

Just got back into climbing and needing new shoes as my old Scarpa Force V’s (39.5) aren’t doing it any more. Looking for some advice on new climbing shoes for a narrow heel and wider foot if anyone has any recommendations. I’ve heard Scarpa Drago’s or La Sportiva TC Pro’s might be it.

Anybody else have skin problems that aren’t just dry or wet skin? I have the occasional split or flapper but recently it’s been something a lot different. I’ve started training on the tb2 to work on my body tension but something I’ve noticed is the holds from the pressure are bruising my fingertips. I read a previous post trying to find someone with a similar experience. However, that climber was a beginner and didn’t know whether it was bruises or just building skin. I’ve climbing for ~6 years but only really with weights and finger training for 2. I knew this was something different, it’s splotchy little dark brown spots right on the tips of my fingers. Right now I have a few on my right hand and it recovers slower than my skin. Anybody else have this and know anything to prevent/recover faster?
