How I choose the correct size?
All climbing shoe models fit differently. We put together our 'shoeculator' to help you find the right size in a new model, compared to your old climbing shoes or street shoes.
This sizing advice is based on two pairs of brand new shoes. Leather shoes tend to stretch more than synthetic shoes. When switching from synthetic to leather you may want to select a smaller size.

Customer questions
Hi, my foot size is 9 (wear 9.5/10s in approach / boots). Got a narrow heel and fairly wide foot - would these fit the bill for my feet and if so what size do you recommend? Or is there a better shoe? Thanks
If this is your first pair of climbing shoes then the Joker is a very good choice. It provides a comfortable fit for most foot types. I would recommend wearing these either in your street size or half a size down. Two possible alternatives would be the Evolv Defy and the Andrea Boldrini Spider.
