Women's Climbing Shoes

Women’s climbing shoes are designed with narrower heels, lower-volume toe boxes, and softer midsoles to accommodate the typically slimmer and more contoured shape of women’s feet. These adjustments ensure a snug and precise fit for better performance and comfort during climbs.

Climbing shoes should fit snugly without causing pain. Your toes should be slightly curled but not overly cramped. A proper fit enhances precision while maintaining comfort, especially for longer climbing sessions.

Yes, some brands offer women-specific models with wider toe boxes or low-volume options that cater to different foot shapes. Trying on multiple styles and sizes is key to finding the best fit for wider feet.

• Lace-ups: Provide a customisable fit, ideal for crack climbing or all-day use.

• Velcro (hook-and-loop): Offer quick adjustments and convenience, perfect for gym sessions or bouldering.
