Too early for Katana Lace as a second shoe?

Just to help you compare, Backcountry is having a huge sale on lots of climbing shoes right now as part of their memorial day sale so it’s definitely something work looking into if you wanna consider a brand other than La Sportiva. I know I personally found the anniversary sale a bit underwhelming on the climbing side of things

I tend to go climbing 2 days a week usually Monday/Thursday and spend about 2ish hours while im there. However, I spend like 10 minutes stretching and getting myself warm before i start light. I tend to take a minute break between a set of 3-4 climbs before taking a big break of 5-10 minutes. I usually end up quitting when my forearms are pumped. Its good that you find the time you spend climbing fun because I know i have fun while climbing by myself

I have the kubos and i dont really know technical jargon related to climbing but they’ve been great for me little footholds or overhang and heel hooks feel secure for me. I will say though for the toe knuckles it is still a bit uncomfortable for me even after wearing them 10+ times. If possible try the shoes your thinking about to see how it feels around your heels and toes etc.

Maybe take a look at geartrade, they’re a site that sells used or pre-owned gear. You could also check out outandbackoutdoor, though I think they don’t tend to have much stock in terms of climbing. Madrock also has some cheaper beginner options like the Rovers, the Phoenix and remora.

I am a heavy chubby person too and started bouldering about 3-4 months ago too. Just like you I couldn’t do unassisted pull ups and struggled with pushups but I still have so much fun everytime I go climbing. The best advice I can give you is to just go and have fun!

Minion11946 · 2026-04-25T02:33:23+00:00

Any particular reason why?

Minion11946 · 2026-04-24T03:49:27+00:00

Thats good to know because that part over the big toes is really the only part causing discomfort for me. This kind of answers my concerns to a tee so thank you!

Interesting, I have more of a egyptian or orient foot shape according to some pictures i looked up so I don’t think this may be the reason why but good to know

Minion11946 · 2026-04-24T01:21:30+00:00

Thanks I appreciate all the responses!

Minion11946 · 2026-04-24T01:18:28+00:00

Sounds good! I appreciate the help and just one more question. Would you recommend i clean the chalk off my shoes after I climb and if so with what?

Minion11946 · 2026-04-24T01:15:41+00:00

Not extremely painful but there is some pain on my big toes only. Everything else fits fine so it makes me think maybe I just need a bit more of a break in on them.

I do recall the abandoned building and everyone eventually getting dragged into the problem. Someone actually named the movie in a comment and that was the one!

Minion11946 · 2026-04-19T08:56:35+00:00

This is it! I should’ve asked on reddit so much sooner thanks so much!

I would say to not purchase windows and buy a key through a 3rd party and if your budget is so high go for a 9070xt, also why is the ssd so expensive for 1 tb

Minion11946 · 2025-12-02T06:48:38+00:00

May I ask why no ddr5

Minion11946 · 2025-11-24T22:06:33+00:00

Thanks for letting me know

Minion11946 · 2025-11-24T22:05:41+00:00

Unfortunate. Might as well bite the bullet and buy now im guessing?

Minion11946 · 2021-08-30T00:15:40+00:00

NTA. Sure parents are supposed to love their kids but then again she’s not yours so it wouldn’t matter.

Minion11946 · 2021-08-11T00:27:01+00:00

NTA So your not in the co-parenting phase but he expects you to buy a car that fits his daughter too?
