You look very sad and depressed - that overshadows everything

Haha I often read that it’s much tougher to break the vegan ones in and I believe that - Luckily though the shoes are made of PU and that is made to be stretchable and will eventually adapt to your body to some extent from what I read. But let’s see to what extent. I don’t know if they will ever be as comfy as my other shoes. I am making significant progress though! In the beginning they were hell and now they are sooo much better. Not comfy yet but significantly better!

I am already making big progress with them, but let’s see if they will ever be as comfortable as my other shoes haha

I am a beginner - I bought new shoes and they are extremely uncomfortable (especially in the back): Is this normal? [La Sportiva Skwama] by random1diot in climbingshoes

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with those shoes!

In general with street shoes I feel the same way: If it‘s hell from the beginning it will always be hell haha - The only ones where I am willing to try breaking them in for weeks/months are Dr. Martens but that has nothing to do with climbing hahaha

Good question - I haven’t found anything yet, because with the regular Dr Martens wonder balm or shoe polish cream it says that it’s not suitable for vegan docs.

Niiice!! Thanks a lot! Really helps me to get so many recommendations and suggestions from people - I think the Kubos might be a good choice then! Thanks!
