My feet hurt.

[trollcatz]

La Sportiva came by the gym tonight with demo shoes.

I've never been the kind of girl with a thousand pairs of shoes. That's my coworker Wonder Woman's gig.

...I tried on six pairs of shoes tonight and I still don't know which ones I want to go home with. standuponit has convinced me it's time to "get a pair of grownup shoes," which apparently means Shoes

I think you're already too advanced for the Nagos. You might find yourself wanting more performance than they can deliver. But you're the best judge.

Well... am I going to be doing a lot of bouldering? Or a lot of long routes outside?

...maybe I need the Solutions AND the Nagos.

This calls for a budget consult with the Spouse.

Climbing shoes are uncomfortable. They're like pointe shoes, which are also uncomfortable.

Their purpose is to protect your feet and help you climb better, not make your feet feel good.

That's why you take them off when you are not climbing.

Okay, when you said grownup shoes and uncomfortable, I was thinking high heels. Ew. So these are supposed to hurt in one way and help and protect in another way? The Nagos are pretty, but the Solutions have a sort of retro-futuristic cool thing going on.

Climbing shoes let you stand on tiny little flakes of things the size of a 'nilla wafer. And yes, they hurt when you walk in them. You're not supposed to walk in them.
