Indoor Climbing Shoes

Buying Rock Climbing shoes – Help please!?

I have recently started rock climbing on indoor walls(Hopefully I’ll get the chance to try natural walls in the near future) and I have come to the point where I am tired of using the rentals offered by the place I climb because they are all very badly kept and all the shoes are mixed up or without laces.
The other equipment they offer are very well kept though. Anyway, I live in Pakistan – Islamabad and there aren’t any stores I am aware of that sell climbing shoes. I wanted to try different shoes on until I found a suitable pair. So what I want to ask is : Should I wait until I go abroad to get the shoes or should I order from abroad and have it sent with someone I know?

It doesn’t matter where you buy your climbing shoes as long as you try them on first so that you know if they feel comfortable. Try to find a suitable pair in your own country, if not wait till you go abroad.
A Y/A member 141 is from Lahore how far away from you is that. He says he has a pair that he can’t use, they may be your size. Keep in mind you may not be able to try them on prior to purchase.
