A RESOLING SERVICE AT DECATHLON
The soles wear out quickly when climbing. For regular climbers, they generally last from 6 months to 1 year. It depends on lots of factors (type of rock or resin, climbing style, rectitude of routes, etc.). As soon as you see synthetic leather through the rubber, you should get the sole repaired. If you pierce the synthetic leather, resoling will be difficult. Our Decathlon workshops offer resoling services to extend the life of your shoes.

SIZING RECOMMENDATIONS
For beginner climbers, we recommend choosing the same size as your normal shoe size.
They should feel tight without hurting. If you are a regular climber working to improve your skills, you can buy them tighter (1 size below normal, for example), but it's important they don't hurt, so that your foot can develop mobility, proprioception, and strength. You'll also enjoy climbing much more.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Our 1st tip is to never machine-wash your shoes. Thermal and mechanical stress could damage them. We recommend that you wash them by hand, either with a sponge soaked in clean water or with a sponge soaked in soapy water (Marseilles soap), being sure to air-dry them at a stable temperate and avoid drying them on a radiator or in direct sunlight.We recommend washing them regularly to increase the life span of the shoes.
