A friend told me to order 1/2 more than my usual size, taking into consideration that they are pointy. Any suggestions?

Your friend has it backwards. I wear a size 10 tennis shoe but my climbing shoe size is a 9. I wear an 8.5, because REI was out of 9′s, and its only a little too snug. You want your climbing shoe to be snug. Otherwise its gonna slip off when your doing heel-hooks or just from Climbing in general. Another thing is, most people don’t wear socks when they’re wearing their own shoes, like me.

If your just gonna do quick indoor climbs then go tight as possible, because you can just take them off once you get down. Even when I’m outdoors, I walk around in sneakers and just slip my rock climbing shoes on when I’m about to climb. Walking around in rock climbing shoes is just bad. It wears your shoes down faster and many shoes are rounded on the bottom which makes twisting an ankle pretty easy.

Basically a full size below what you normally wear is good. Tight/discomfort is good/ok but pain is bad.
