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

| | | | Go read the thread on tabi, the thread on footwear, and the thread on hiking/mountain boots.
Peace out, CyanFlek.
Good luck.

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

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.

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