What should I be looking for in rock climbing shoes?
Molly D asked:
I recently began rock climbing and am about to join a gym, so I will be climbing more frequently and I would like to buy shoes rather than use the sub-par rentals. I spend most of my time bouldering, but I am not sure if I should get boulder shoes or all purpose shoes since I am still a beginner. I would love any and all helpful info, what brands are best, what type of shoe to look for, what I a good shoe consists of, etc. Thanks a bunch!
