Rock climbing shoes may not exactly be your most comfortable footwear even after breaking them in. Before you've broken them in, they can be downright painful. Here's a trick that some high-level, professional climbers have been using to make the break in process much quicker and pain free.

you can break in your rock climbing shoes without climbing a single painful pitch by putting them in the oven tracing this idea we think to professional climber Jonathan siegrist many climbers have done this successfully but keep in mind that as they say climbing is an inherently risky activity and that includes baking your shoes you will likely void your shoe warranty and you can risk damaging the shoes or your oven or your floor or you if you aren't careful the key is short Cycles get an oven
tray a timer a stool and a piece of cardboard preheat a conventional oven on the lowest setting of 170 degrees Fahrenheit do not use a microwave put the shoes on the tray and in the oven for two minutes put them on and move and flex your feet on the cardboard for 5 to 10 minutes repeat for two to three cycles and bang broken in shoes [Music] thank you

You get the same effect by wearing the shoes on a slab route during summer.
Ovens are typically too hot and will degrade the glues in the shoe before the rubber gets warm enough. Instead, use a clothes dryer rack or a hair drier.
Why not use a microwave
