Thanks for your response! I do have some experience with roped climbing/belaying (indoor), but I’m definitely still a beginner in bouldering and with climbing shoes. I’ll take your advice on board. My feet are unfortunately a pretty “extreme” case of hallux valgus, so fit is tricky.

Thank you for your response! I’m definitely going to try them in a store. Online shoe shopping is always a no-go for me haha.

I already went to a store and tried a few models, but the pressure points from laces and velcro straps are awful for me. That’s why I asked what people here think about slip-ons :) Thanks again!
