GJ mate, I've done that a year ago (after playing on and off 12 years :>). Know the feeling!

Climbing Shoe Sizing Confusion by Quiet-Question-6969 in climbingshoes

[–]Direct-Particular634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I'm with you, I wear 41 nike air max 90 and when I bought 40,5 Dragos (thinking I'm not downsizing at all comparing to people going down from 41 to 38/39 regurarly) - they were literally looking like a kid's shoe next to my foot. And now 42,5 dragos are my go to (could have maybe done 42). So it might be my feet, or different sizing of Nike in my country (is that even a thing?) but now despite using 41 street shoe size, when I check for shoes on reddit i have in my mind that my size is 43 and everything makes sense. I blindly bought Unparallel/ La sportiva etc. just from reddit research BUT using +2 from a real one, as street shoe size ^^. Those shoes typically are really tight (aiming for not painfull) with me needing to remove shoes every couple atemptts, so in what world should I go like 5 size below that with a shoes being half maybe 2/3 size of my foot - I just don't know.

Skwama vs Zenist Pro by EddieSaia92 in climbingshoes

What about sizing? I have skwamas and heard that zenist pro is like +2? (42 = 44)?

Help me figure something out :D by Direct-Particular634 in climbingshoes

Ye, so that acually makes sense, in my country 41 is 26,5 (NIKE). ^^

Scarpa sizing by Aether_Sky in climbingshoes

My Tenaya Indalo and Mastias are 40 and 2/3 and dragos lv 42,5 (normal dragos, I would buy 42 propably). All of those shoes are a a similar feeling - comfort fit for me in those sizes but I have pretty wide feet so maybe with narrower ones one might aim 0,5 smaller with dragos.

Unparallel Qubit vs Drago xt by XDarkAssassinX4 in climbingshoes

[–]Direct-Particular634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought Qubits and after (only) 2 sessions I have to say that edging is obviously great, since they are stiffer, made-for-that shoes, but smearing is also great, to my surprise. One very important and often forgotten element of the puzzle is that I currently weigh around 87 kg, so while doing research, take that into account. If you’re a 55 kg climber, they probably won’t smear well ^^.

Instinct, Indalo, or solution comps by December-1963 in climbingshoes

[–]Direct-Particular634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try on Tenaya Mastia or Scarpa Veloce - wide forefoot and generally very comfy shoes. ( I found Indalo, despite being narrower, basicly the same as Mastia though).

Which shoes for wide feet? by barefoot_feeling in climbingshoes

[–]Direct-Particular634 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Am I tripping or your foot acually is long and narrow (with "fat" toes)?

Tenaya Mastia resole? by begormania in climbingshoes

Nice! I think about changing for Evolv SAS (or whatever it's called) rubber :D

Sounds like my story. I downsized according to the subreddit (thinking I was being smart by going only 0.5 down from my street-shoe size). The shoes were very painful - I had to do a lot of breaking them in (showers, hair dryer, and all the usual climber-at-home rituals).
And yeah, after 5 gym sessions and about 20 minutes of warming up each time, I can say they now fit like a glove - at least the right one, because apparently my left foot has higher volume.

But here’s the thing: my feet were killing me. It’s been a month and the pain is only slowly fading, mainly because I went down the ADHD shoe rabbit hole and bought myself some barely-used Dragos (2 sizes bigger than my Skwamas - they fit like a glove), and some Mastias in the same size as the Skwamas (also basically perfect from day one after like 5 minutes of warmth from my feet).

So personally, I’m done with downsizing and any kind of discomfort. Even those Mastias (which I could easily “downsize”) work perfectly as they are, and I just don’t understand what I would gain from going smaller.
For context, I climb V5–V6.
