How to extend the life of climbing shoes

1. Do NOT leave your shoes in a hot car. Heat can soften the adhesion between your leather midsole and rubber sole resulting in premature delamination. Store your shoes indoors in a cool, dry place with the rest of your gear. 

2. Do NOT hike or walk in your climbing shoes. Climbing rubber is soft, its not durable like street shoe rubber. If you are not on the wall, remove your shoes and let them breath.

3. Do NOT drag your feet along the wall. Especially at the gym! As you drag your toe along the sandpaper grip of climbing gym walls, you are literally sanding off your soles. Better footwork will dramatically extend the life of our shoes. Place your feet with precision, your shoes will thank you for it with a longer life.
