What shape do the First Klimb shoes have?
We have designed these shoes to have a straight shape with a flat profile, aligned with the natural shape of the foot. This provides more comfort.
How to maintain your First Klimb shoes
Our 1st tip is to never machine-wash your shoes. Thermal and mechanical stress could damage them. We recommend that you wash them by hand, either with a sponge soaked in clean water or with a sponge soaked in soapy water (Marseille soap), being sure to air-dry them at a stable temperate and avoid drying them on a radiator or in direct sunlight. We recommend washing them regularly to increase the life span of the shoes.
How to choose the right size of First Klimb shoes
We recommend choosing the same shoe size as your everyday shoes, or either 1 whole EU size larger if you want even more comfort or if you have wide feet. They should feel tight without hurting.
If you are a beginner or are at an intermediate stage, it is important to not select shoes that are too tight (and to avoid painful feet) in order to allow your feet to develop their mobility, strength and proprioception.
