Jul 16, 2019 at 6:17 comment added imsodin @HammerN'Songs If you want a real answer to that, you should probably open a question, because that is a huge topic. On the other hand it would also be a pretty opinion-based topic. In general from the little description I get from you I'd say for a first-year climber, your shoes hurt too much. However I do agree, even the best fitting, not too small climbing shoes won't be comfortable and maybe even hurt a little. And once you get to your second pair, I'd personally say that if you don't take your shoes off in between climbs, they are too big, if they hurt on every climb, they are too small.
Jul 15, 2019 at 17:55 comment added HammerN'Songs For clarity, when you say they shouldn't hurt, do you mean wearing them shouldn't be agony, or they shouldn't hurt to put on, or they actually shouldn't hurt to use? I've only been climbing for a year, but a lack of pain with those shoes feels like a foreign concept to me
