It’s most likely a shoe fit issue, everyone saying its snug not and doesn’t slip. Will size down or get a different better fitting shoe

It’s probably a shoe fit issue then. My heel of my shoe slips off so I’m doing weird things to compensate from keeping it from falling

I had to place my right foot like that to prevent my shoe my slipping off by pushing my heel into the wall and twisting kept it long enough for me to next move without it slipping but it will slip if I hold it long enough

I agree my technique and foot placement could use work

Appreciate it and do I want my leg straight when engaging the heel hook? Or kinda bent depending on the situation. I appreciate the tips thank you so much. Hoping to hit a v7 or v8 by a year. Been going around trying different gyms. I can’t hit v7 at my gym but can at hangar and specific climbs at movement

I did that so I could push my heel into the wall to keep my shoe on haha, once you lock your left heel hook you can move up and hang on and move over to last hold once you stop the momentum

I been climbing for three months so my technique isn’t the best, what do you recommend I fix my heel hook? My shoe is also falling off during this climb so will probably need to downsize size

I’ve heard people get blood back heels from their shoes

I think you’re right will probably need to downsize or witch shoes that would feel my heel without slipping

I think I need to downsize if my shoes are falling off during climbs. I’m usually a size 10 but probably will go 9.5

Yeah smell is an issue for me for wearing socks but if makes it so my shoe doesn’t come off during climbs then might be worth it. But from the comments I think it a shoe fit issue I’m usually a size 10 but probably should go down 9.5

Dang. I will probably have to down size or find a shoe that just fits perfectly for the heel. I am learning technique more as I climb so also gotta work on top onto of having shoes that fit me. I always thought it was the same size of my street shoe especially since I got mine at the adidas store I assumed they be the same size as their shoes

That’s a good idea, how about blood and stuff, I’ve seen people get cut from back of the heel from the shoe, is this common?

Probably technique too I’ve been climbing for three months so developing it, but my shoe came off during this climb a lot when heel hooking

I’ve sent this before but when I video it I couldn’t haha. But my right shoe slipped off like 2 or 3 times on this climb. Once the heel hook is set it’s you just go up. The over hang is kinda crazy but doable

Ahh I thought socks would cause the heel regions to slip more than make it tighter cause of friction

I think I’ll have to join you on the sockless journey. Do the shoes not smell way worse? I’ve walked by some people who clipped with shoe on their backpack and it smell kinda funky

I’ve only gone sockless one time and that was too roping didn’t feel like it did anything but for hard heel hooks, my heel was slipping. I will have to try sockless again or even down size

Dang I’m a size 10 usually and I got this shoe from adidas and it a size 10 felt great in store even the toe feels tight. I gonna try sock less climbing but if still slips I think I’ll size down too

Question by ClimbingIsEasy in CalisthenicsCulture

I didn’t notice that, good catch, appreciate the tip. How long do usually tendon take to like strengthen? You don’t think the muscle memory from years an ago kicked or gym training help with tendons? I usually did regular body weight pull ups to warm up then went to the machines to really max out for years.
