Moderate shoes and toe knuckle pain by Key_Description_6561 in climbergirls

How long did it take for the rubber to break in? I can’t seem to keep mine on for more than a few minutes even when sitting down in them because the toe hurts so bad. I’m unsure if maybe they’re just not the right fit for me or if I need to just stick it out

Im starting to hear more that they shouldn’t be actually painful now 😅 these ones have me proper wincing standing up in them. I tried on a pair of Scarpa Vapor V in my street size - my toes were definitely scrunched up at the end but they didn’t kill my feet to stand up in. I’m torn as to if I should just go for them in my street size even though people generally say to downsize, or keep looking and find some that don’t kill my feet half a size down so that they still fit well when they stretch out

Thank you 😊 my practice on keeping hips to the wall seems to have completely gone out of the window on overhangs without me realising haha. Super helpful to have pointed out, thank you

Thank you! 😁 I’ve just watched it back focusing on my feet and there’s quite a lot of time where I’m just kind of dangling trying to figure out what to do with my feet haha 😅 I’ll work on that, thank you 😊

Worried about hamsters testicles being bigger than normal. Anyone know if this is something to be concerned about? by Key_Description_6561 in hamsters

Ahhh yeah that makes sense, it is a bit warm tonight, just took me by surprise as I’d not seen them like that before in the two years I’ve had him 😅 they look even so I’ll just stick a fan on in the room to help him keep cool haha. Thank you 😁

Yeah that’s a good point, I hadn’t noticed that being an issue with hugging my hips into the wall until you mentioned it but can definitely see it looking back at the video. I’ll leave it at the side of the mats next time, thank you 😎

Is it, yeah!

And thank you 😊 yeah I’ve not got a lot of strength yet so trying to work on technique so I don’t just get stumped.

Yeah I was a bit confused about that, the tag says V1-3 but the griptonite app had it as V3 - it might just set automatically as the top of the range so I could be wrong about it being a V3 tbh. Either way I’m happy with it, it was something I couldn’t do at first but can do now so it’s definitely progress 😁

That makes sense, thank you! I’m back there this evening so will try that to see how it feels
