SIZE ADVICE
If you're just starting out, we recommend taking a little tighter than your street size (e.g. 1/2-1 size down), but it's important not to suffer so that your foot can develop mobility, proprioception and strength.
If you're an expert climber, we recommend taking the time to try on the different sizes (1 to 2 sizes down) to find the best compromise between comfort and compression for greater push-off strength.
MAINTENANCE ADVICE
Our 1st piece of advice is not to machine-wash your slippers. The mechanical and thermal stress could damage them. We recommend washing them by hand, either with a sponge soaked in clean water, or with a sponge soaked in soapy water (Marseille soap), leaving them to dry in the open air, at a stable temperature and avoiding drying (radiator or direct sunlight). We recommend regular washing to extend the life of the shoe.
RESHAPING ADVICE
Insole rubber wears out quickly when climbing. For a regular climber, the rubber generally lasts between 6 months and 1 year. This depends on many factors (type of rock or resin, climbing style, cleanliness of routes, etc.). As soon as you can see the synthetic leather through the rubber, you need to reseal. If you pierce the synthetic leather, it will be difficult to resole. Our Decathlon workshops offer a resealing service to extend the life of your shoes.
