Where to buy climbing shoes near Boston?
|
I am in the market for some new climbing shoes and the selection near Boston (at least where I have looked) has been relatively limited |

The REI's have a reasonable (but not totally extensive) selection. |
|
Have you tried Rock Spot climbing gym? They have a pretty good selection of shoes. They also have shoe demo days where you can try out different makes and models and then buy them there or online. |

Nowhere is really great. REI, Rockspot, and Metrorock all have a decent but not extensive selection. CRG probably does too, but I haven’t tried them yet. Don’t bother with BKB unless you are very interested in Butora shoes—they don’t stock any other brands. |

REI near Fenway has a decent selection, maybe like a dozen different shoes, but like someone else said its not anything too extensive. There's an REI in Reading, and one in Warwick, RI too. IME in North Conway might have a wider selection, I'm not sure, I didn't look at climbing shoes last time I was there. They usually have a solid selection of cheap used shoes on consignment in the basement though. |

Central Rock seems to have mostly Evolv. REI in Boston has a wide but not too deep selection. I guess I will try Rock Spot... |

Check out Outdoor Gear Exchange in Burlington VT - the most badass selection of outdoor gear in the north east! |
