Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best climbing shoes for beginners and experienced climbers? +

The best climbing shoes are the ones that fit your foot comfortably, but they will also depend on your skill level and the type of climbing you do.

Beginner climbing shoes are usually neutral or slightly curved, for all-day comfort. On the other hand, experienced climbers often choose more aggressively shaped shoes for precision foot placement on steeper routes.

Our specialists can help you find the ideal fit from trusted brands such as Scarpa,La Sportiva and Boreal.

How long do running shoes last? +

Most trail and fell running shoes last between 300 and 500 miles, depending on terrain, running style, and aftercare. If you notice worn tread, loss of cushioning, or discomfort, it's time to replace them.

At The Climbers Shop & Joe Brown, our team can help you choose durable trail running shoes for ladies and men that fit your feet and the terrain you love to run over.

Which are best, fabric or leather walking boots? +

Fabric boots offer a softer upper, a lighter weight and sometimes a vegan option to support your foot and ankle when hiking or walking.

Leather boots give robust protection of your upper foot if you are in rocky terrain, are warmer for year-round use and with aftercare, will last longer.

Our experienced staff can help get that perfect fit and give additional advice on foot comfort, blister management and lacing.
