I'll have to share this with my climbing partner. She has a pair of shoes she bought for bouldering that are really tight.
Yeah, it seems to work like magic.
I have arthritis in my feet, so I only buy my shoes 1/2 size smaller. It's as much as I can take.
I have bunions and one foot that still gets a bit achy from the Lisfranc-ing. OTOH, I'm almost entirely a boulderer, so size my shoes on the basis that I'm going to be taking them off a lot. My "comfy" shoes are the ones I can wear for half an hour without a break.
This weekend (owing to a series of accidents involving forgotten shoes and a bruised heel), I ended up doing a certain amount of climbing in a friend's spare shoes, two sizes too big for me. With a lot of pairs of socks to try to pad them out so they weren't sliding off my feet. It was an interesting experience.
