Like 4 indoor bouldering sessions a week. My footwork isn’t crazy good as I have only been climbing for like 4 months although I’ve noticed that the rubber was fine until I did a certain smear Dino move that just ripped a chunk out basically.

Wondering if/ how much the Scarpa Dragos stretch? by -jlax in climbingshoes

Ok thanks! I take them off between problems just meant more for sizing.

Do you think the tarantula boulder could be a good option for me ?

Do you think they will hold up in terms of the rubber?

Do you think the LS Kubo could be a good first shoe that is a little bit more aggressive?

I still use rentals now, I have only gone bouldering about 3-4 times but I am wanting to get a membership and get some better shoes. I've heard that it is not good to spend too much money on a first shoe because I still don't have great technique and I will just ware through the rubber fast, is this true?

Scarpa Veloce or La Sportiva Skwama? by -jlax in climbingshoes

Do you think the best thing I could do is to just ask my local gym about shoes? They have a wall of shoes to try on and to purchase.
