Hey 'yall,
Does anyone have a men's size 13 lightly used rock climbing shoe? These would be for mixed face and crack climbing. I got online the other day, size 13 climbin' shoes seem hard to come by. Thx. for your assistance.

You may have to go direct to manufacturers. A number only make some of their shoes larger than 12, and it is nearly impossible to find them retail.
Several manufacturers may sell direct. I have had to do that in the past.

I have sz 13 feet and climb with Mythos sz 45.5. Out of the box I can climb all day in them without any pain.

Thx. for the info guys, these are for my "little" bro-in-law who grew up on me. Last time I took him climbing, my sz. 43's were too big for him. Now he's 6'5". I'm not sure to his commitment level, so trying to avoid full retail.

See if your local gym will rent you a pair?
Just checked. We don't have any. Went from 12 to 14/15 here. :-)
What a pain, even for regular shoes or sneakers.

I climb in 13's well actually 12.5/13. One foot its bigger than the other.
Its the only time "13" and "climb" appear in the same thought for me.

I've got a pair of Scarpa Reflexes:
Used twice in the gym, never outdoors. I'm a street 14 and they just hurt too bad. Nice sturdy sole for a beginner and strong edges. I've never put them in a crack but I'm sure they'd work well enough if your toes weren't folded back under your feet.
$30 Shipped to you from CA. Drop me a line if you're interested. They're nice shoes. Someone should get some use out of them. If you don't like them I'll take them back for the same price.
