Rock shoes

Rock shoes

— specialized shoes for climbing and other similar activities (for example, bouldering). Climbing shoes have a hard sole and a specially designed shape, because of which they are almost unsuitable for walking on the ground, but they are excellent for climbing rocks and climbing walls. In particular, the "shoes" design provides support for the foot and allows you to feel for ledges with your fingers, which you can lean on.

Climbing shoes can vary in specific shape, materials, stiffness, etc.; these points are described in more detail in special sources.
