ongoing pain and whinging about my 5.10 anasazi velcro tings resulted in a friend telling me before putting them on i should stretch them by twisting them, which i can only describe as like ringing the shoe out vigorously.  I was quite skeptical but it seemed to create the extra few mm which made the difference between discomfort and ingrowing toe nails.  On the other hand you could go outside the box and try and make your feet smaller, when you get to where your going to climb, sit down take your other footwear off and chill let them shrink a little. I'm guessing the difference in size between what you have and what you want is actually tiny.

I'm afraid my genes weren't that kind to me

What's all this getting shoes wet business... here's the dope.

Fill a washing up bowl full of really hot water.
Put your new climbing shoes on your feet.
Get some tough placcie bags (rucksack liner or sandbag) put them over your shoe clad feet and use and elaccie band to secure round the ankles.
Stand in the bowl for 10 minutes (or as long as you can bear).
Step out of the bowl and rinse the bag/shoe/foot combo in cold water.

Works a treat

Sounds like a recipe for disaster, I may give it a go later since my shoes still hurt.

Sounds like a recipe for hot boiled shoes. Wonder what bacteria would mutate in mine if I heated them up?

[magpie]

I wonder if this would work?



You may want to keep watching for the gratuitous leg shots near the end.

.....and the nice pussy.

I suppose it would work but the difference with climbing shoes is that you want them to stretch to the shape of your feet, no?

[magpie]

Well that would be ideal, but first I want to be able to get my feet in them without crying.

Sorry I forgot you were a girl.

Sorry I forgot you were a girl lady. 

Any better?

[magpie]

I am not crying because of my lack of penis!  I am crying because they are too tight and they really hurt.

The lady is appreciated though, Slackers.

Sounds terribly uncomfortable!

It's probably sound advice.

Boil a kettle and steam the shoes inside, then get a plastic bag, like Houdini said and put them on. That will help them stretch a bit more. Though maybe not with Evolvs.

This worked for me with a pair of ani velcos a few years back so hopefully will do with the Evolvs.

I've tried this today, seems to work quite well. Did it with the right foot and now you can really tell a difference when I try to put the left shoe on.
