How to Choose Climbing Shoes

Choosing the right Ocùn climbing shoes depends on three things : where you climb, your experience level, and your foot shape. This guide will help you feel confident in your choice — and make sure your next session is a good one.

1. Where Do You Climb ?

Mostly indoors ?
Start with comfortable and durable shoes.
→ Try Rental (perfect for beginners and gym use) or Hero (for kids).
→ If you want high performance indoors, go for Ozone, Ozone Plus, or Ozone Lady.

Bouldering or sport climbing outdoors ?
You need precision, grip, and an aggressive fit.
→ Diamond is our most advanced model for tough routes and overhangs.
→ Ozone, Ozone Plus, and Ozone Lady give you power and precision on tiny holds.

Multi-pitch or long sessions ?
None of our models are designed specifically for long routes, but all-round shoes like Rental or a sized-up Ozone Plus can offer more comfort.

2. How Are Your Feet ?

Getting the right fit is key to performance and comfort. Here’s how to choose :

• Narrow feet ? Choose Ozone, Ozone Lady, or Hero for a snug, supportive fit.
• Wide feet ? Go for Ozone Plus, Diamond, or Rental, which offer more space and volume.
• Kids’ feet ? Pick Hero, it is made just for them.
• Unusual toe shape (like Cube or Greek) ? Ozone Plus, Rental, or Hero will be more forgiving.
• In between sizes ? Choose a tighter fit if you climb short and hard, or size up slightly for comfort on longer climbs.

3. What’s Your Level ?

If you are a beginner, start with comfort : Rental is easy to wear and perfect for learning.

If you are intermediate, step up to Ozone, Ozone Plus, or Ozone Lady which are great for both indoor and outdoor progress.

Now if you are advanced or competitive, you will want the Diamond or Ozone series for maximum grip, power, and control.
