In addition to all the safety climbing gear, climbing shoes are an essential part of your equipment. Climbing shoes not only protect your feet while you climb but also make your climbing considerably easier. Climbing shoes are designed to give you an exceptional feel for the rock.
However, climbing shoes have three essential shapes: natural, moderate, and aggressive. While active climbers typically prefer the latter two, the first is the best choice for beginners and occasional users.
With Altitude Activities, you can rent climbing gear of all sizes and shapes, but we only provide high-quality, properly maintained climbing equipment. Therefore, there is no need to pack everything for your travel adventure since you can easily rent complete climbing equipment at our office in Bled.
– Climbing shoes are designed with specialised rubber soles that provide superior grip on rock surfaces.
– Because of their snug fit and pointed toes, you can be more precise while placing your foot on small holds.
– Unlike hiking shoes, climbing shoes support edging, smearing, and toe hooking – crucial techniques for tackling challenging routes.
– They have special stiff or flexible toes, so you can climb more efficiently and avoid foot fatigue.
– Firstly, you should realize that it is not all about comfort.
– When trying them on, your toes may slightly bend at the knuckles – not painfully tight, but comfortably curved.
– Secondly, choose shoes suited to your activity: Flat and slightly downturned shoes work well for beginners and all-day climbs. Aggressive shoes with a sharp downturn are better for steep or technical routes.
– Finally, check for shoe material, stretch, sole and rubber quality.
– Softer rubber offers better grip and sensitivity, ideal for indoor climbing or bouldering. Stiffer soles provide more support for edging on outdoor routes.
– EU sizes: 35 – 47
– UK sizes: women 2 – 10; men 5.5 – 13.5
– US sizes: women 4 – 12; men 6 – 14

You can rent climbing gear in our Altitude Activities office on Ljubljanska cesta 1, 4260 Bled. Please ensure that the gear is picked up and returned during the office hours that are currently in effect. (Every day from 10 am to 6 pm)
We understand that many hikers prefer to start their day early, so we offer the option to pick up your gear from our office one afternoon before your booking (until 6 p.m.) at no extra cost.
If you don’t manage to return it during office hours, please let us know by phone or e-mail.
*Note that in the summer season, it is good to pre-book the climbing shoes since these are the months with the highest demand.
