    Caring for Your Climbing Shoes

    Tim Addicoat   6 May 2020 

    Whether it's your first or your 20th pair, caring for your shoes will help prolong the life of your shoe and spare some noses along the way! Tim has compiled his top ten tips to ultimate shoe care.

    Tenaya Iati Climbing Shoes

    QUICK TIPS

    • Keep your shoes dry and air them out after use.
    • Avoid wearing the rubber out too early by working on your footwork and taking shoes off between climbs.
    • Stay on top of your shoe care, it's much harder to catch up after.
    • Know when to resole your shoes.

     

    1. Air them out.

    Just like us, your shoes need to breathe. You should always air out your shoes after a climbing session. As easy as it is to leave them in the bottom of your bag, this prevents the shoes from drying and promotes antibacterial growth and smell.

    Get in the habit early of taking your shoes out of your car or bag when you get home and air them out.

    Pro Tip: Use a mesh shoe bag or clip them to the outside of your bag so it’s easier to remember when you get home.


    2. Don’t leave them in the sun or hot car.

    Yes, air them out, but don’t leave them out in the sun.

    Avoid storing your shoes in direct sunlight or extreme heat like keeping them in your car on an Aussie summer day! The glue that binds the sole to the rest of your shoe is heat sensitive and is prone to splitting apart. Not to mention bacteria thrives in a warm environment. If your shoes are trapped in your car, your passengers also may not be too happy with the resulting smell.

    Outdoor Climbing Shoe
    The next worst thing is leaving your shoes outside to air for a few days,
    only to find something has decided to make it it’s new home… BIG NOPE!

     

    3. Watch your step...

    We've all seen the black streaks on slabs across gyms and crags alike. This is precious shoe rubber being scraped off on the wall. Practice good, delicate footwork to help prolong the rubber. 

    Pro Tip: Try climbs a few times and pay attention to your movements with your feet. Learning a route and how to be efficient on it can do wonders for your technique and footwork.

     

    4. ... And save it for the wall.

    Cleaning Climbing Shoe on Metoulis Crash Pad floor mat
    Give your shoes a quick wipe before jumping back on the wall.

    Similarly, you wear away your rubber while walking on the ground between climbs. The best thing to do is to take your shoes off between climbs. If you don't, watch where you walk in them. Try to keep them as clean as possible by being aware of your surroundings and where you stand/what you stand in.

     

    5. Cleanse your sole!

    Cleaning Climbing Shoe Sole

    Not quite getting the grip you need? Try cleaning the bottom of the shoe.

    Mud, dirt, dust and chalk can clog up the rubber on your shoes. If you notice a dirty sole, give the sole a wipe with your socks or on the leg of your pants. If you are climbing outside and notice a lot of dirt or sand, a small square of carpet/towel is handy for wiping your shoes. Some bouldering mats even have inbuilt foot wiping carpets.

    Still not clean? You can clean with soles with a damp cloth and a soft tooth brush. Using water to dampen a cloth, wipe off any excess dirt from the sole of the shoe. If you still notice dirt stuck deep in the rubber, use a soft tooth brush in small circular motion to lift any dirt and grime. Spray the sole with water until the water is running off from the shoe is clear. To save you from having to wash the entire shoe and dry it, try not to get the fabric of the shoe wet. ...And for those who are lazy, try the Tension Shoe Spray. 

     

    6. Use a shoe deodoriser.

    Boot Banana Shoe Deodoriser
    Moisture absorbing, lavender-infused shoe deodorisor - what more do you want?

    There is a reason that climbing gyms and bowling alleys do this for their rental shoes. It works! Not only can you get sprays and inserts that mask the smell of your well-loved shoes, but you can also get ones that are antibacterial. These will always work better if you stay on top of it and use them from the get go.

    Try some Boot Bananas if you haven’t already. They are moisture absorbing and neutralise any bacteria developing in the shoe. Keep them in your shoes when you're not climbing.

    Boot Bananas come in two versions, one for winter boots (I have some, they go great with my snowboard boots and are fantastic for moisture absorbing and can dry out a pair of wet boots in a matter of hours!) and the standard odour-eating version, perfect for climbing shoes.

     

    7. Wear socks.

    Climbing Socks and Shoes

    You were probably wondering about this one. While socks can add a bit of slippage in a shoe and change that skin-tight feel, socks will help absorb sweat and make your shoes less smelly!

    We recommend to find a thin pair of socks that do not have a seam at the toes. A thin pair will not obstruct with the sensitivity you need for climbing and apply less pressure on the toes. There is also nothing wrong with rocking the ‘Trad Dad’ look, with a pair of knee high tube socks! Or if you prefer your dignity intact, perhaps some small ankle socks are for you!


    8. Clean them.

    Cleaning Climbing Shoes

    If all else above fails and your shoes inevitably get dirty, you are allowed to clean them! 

    Your shoes can build up dirt, grime and salts inside and outside. Salt from sweat affects the material's elasticity, while dirt and grime can make the inside surface feel slippery, smell bad, and appear black. 

    There are alot of voodoo out there when it comes to cleaning shoes. We recommend cleaning by hand with only warm water and a soft toothbrush or microfibre cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals that might destroy the rubber, leather or the glue. After any cleaning, be sure to air dry them in the shade.

    Here are the washing tips:

    • Hand-washing your shoes in your sink is pretty effective, especially if you use a brush. I find that an old toothbrush makes a good shoe scrubber, just make sure you ask your housemate before repurposing their toothbrush, and maybe don’t put it back where you found it. Use small circular motions to try lift the dirt and grime inside and outside of the shoe.
    • Soaking synthetic shoes in warm water for about hour prior to cleaning can help loosen dirt and grime. For leather shoes, I would not recommend soaking the shoes prior to cleaning. Also, if you decide on using a mild soap or laundry detergent, make sure to dilute the solution so it's very weak (please note: depending on the shoe and manufacturer, soap is not recommended).  
    • Rinse the shoes until the water runs clear. Keep the water cool enough to touch, don’t forget, climbing shoes and high heat don’t mix well as rock shoe glues can melt with enough heat.
    • Synthetic shoes ‘could’ be machine washed on a gentle cycle, with warm water. Don’t use hot water, don’t use bleach! Take out any laces and close any Velcro straps beforehand. Note that not all of the materials in a climbing shoe are colourfast.
    • After washing be sure that you completely dry the shoes with either a fan or other air-dry method. You can fill them a microfibre towel or paper towel to pat out remaining water on the inside of the shoe. Never put rock shoes in a dryer, even on an air dry setting! Bacteria need a moist/humid environment to survive, so by drying your shoes completely after each use as well as after washing them, you make it difficult for the smell producing bacteria to survive.

    Please note: Cleaning your climbing shoes in a washing machine is not recommended by all manufacturers, hand washing is the better option. Using any chemicals (including soap and vinegar) or heat may void warranty depending on the manufacturer. If you are not sure, refer to your manufacturer's website for more details.

     

    9. Resole them before you get holes.

    Resole Climbing Shoe
    When the sole is wearing thin and you start eating into the rand - time for a resole!

    A pair of already worn-in shoes but with brand new rubber? Give your favourite shoes a new lease on life. Resoling shoes is not only a great way to prolong the life of your shoes, it's also cheaper than buying a brand new pair.

    Don’t let the soles or rand wear all the way through before sending them in to get repaired. If your shoes get massive holes in them, they are less likely to be able to get repaired and if they are, the repair will cost much more.

    You can learn more about resoling here.

     

    10. Buy more than one pair.

    Buy multiple pair of climbing shoe
    It’s ok to have an indoor pair, an outdoor pair and a training pair. Live your best life!

    No matter how careful you are with your shoes, they will not last forever.

    Over time, most climbers will amass a few different pairs of shoes. These can be used for different styles of climbing or having that comfy worn out pair for warm ups and another for the send. It also means when one pair is off for a resole, you're not left high and dry! Read about how many pairs of Climbing Shoes does one need?

    I've been rock climbing for about 16 years now, as well as working for over 10 years in the rock climbing industry. From starting as an indoor instructor and Children's Climbing Coach, to becoming Assistant Manager at the Climbing Anchors store here in Collingwood (VIC), I am passionate about climbing, and about gear, and especially about climbing gear. I love everything about it, from helping a regular climber buy their second trad rack, to helping that new climber kit themselves out for the very first time!
