Gubbies FAQ about Climbing Shoes

What is the difference between "slippers" and climbing shoes with laces and velcro?

To be able to put on and take off the climbing shoes quickly many boulder climbers prefer a climbing shoe with either velcro closure or slipper type shoes. In contrast, laces are better for securing the shoe's fit throughout the foot, which is better suited for rope climbing and climbing trips.
