Socks With Climbing Shoes? Yes, Actually.

At long last climbers around the world are beginning to realize that it is ridiculous to buy expensive climbing shoes only to spoil them by wearing them barefoot. 

Hence the growing popularity of socks with climbing shoes. They'll change your relationship with your shoes. 

Extend the life of your climbing shoes

To begin with, wearing socks with climbing shoes will make those shoes last way longer. Socks prevent sweat, bacteria, and grime from getting into your shoe.

In short, they stop stinky, gross climbing shoes. 

Your expensive climbing shoes will stay cleaner and smell fresher.

OK but why else should I climb in socks?

Socks do more than just kill the smell. 

By wrapping your foot in a layer of soft, quick-dry material, they also make your expensive climbing shoes more comfortable. Many climbers who wear socks say that they have have better sessions for longer when wearing socks. 

Training for climbing may be psychologically uncomfortable...but your feet don't have to be!
