| | | It depends. What exactly are you trying to climb?

| | | Cross trainers are the best for climbing and suhc regarding Parkour. It's nothing fancy but atleast its better than skate shoes and such.

| | | Get some of these. http://www.imsplus.com/ims14.html Third one down. Or if you want to scale fences quick like a bunny but don't mind puncture wounds in your feet go buy some tabi boots.

Or order some of the construction tabi with steel toes etc...

| | | For light to medium climbing i usually wear a pair of running shoes that are made for dirt and trail running, but if it gets into heavy duty stuff i break out the hiking boots, don't know the name of them ordered them out of a Cabelas magazine about 3 years ago and i've never had a problem with them. Here's a partial picture of the hiking boots. http://www.uer.ca/locations/viewgal.asp?picid=33795

| | | My recommendation for anyone who starts another footwear/shoe thread: Concrete shoes. They are also great for swimming.
