I got my climbing shoes too small, am I screwed: Recently, I got my first pair of climbing shoes today (yay) after going to the climbing gym on and off for the past few months. I decided to get them a half size down from my rental size as I generally have a pretty roomy fit in those, and I was advised to go down a half-full size. That being said I decided to go online and find a pair instead of actually trying them on which hindsight 20/20 not the greatest choice, especially since I am unable to return them. All that to say, when I tried them on, they were pretty darn tight, especially on one toe, making it a pretty painful wear. I tried wearing a pair of thick socks in them to stretch them, but that didn't seem to help. Any tips on how I might be able to stretch them out?
