are flip flops good when rock climbing

Our as your question is the same as that of my brother, l found this link looks very good for this http://katei.com.br/bobool/ your question.

Whenever l enter it with questions

Worth

No - they would be the LAST choice of footwear for rock climbing xxx

It would be very dangerous and difficult to climb in flip flops. You need special rock climbing shoes. If you do not have some, hopefully you can rent or borrow some.

Swim fins are better, so you have some aerodynamic control when you fall.

absolutely not! they have no traction so its easy for you just slip and fall!

Nope.

if u want to make ur toes n toe nails bleed then YES.. if not then No l would wear proper rock climbing footwear

not at all

l hope you are joking.

Not unless you want to do a bit of rock falling!!!

l dont think so.it can be dangerous..

Go try it, and report back to us

OMG! NO! You need special shoes to rock climb, silly.

Best shoes to use are 'rockshoes'. Plimsoll type soles work well - thin soles. Grip is not really an issue because rock climbing is esentially about finding footholds. Therefore the thinner shoe the better.

Flip flops are not the best idea because I'd imagine your toes would hurt a bit if you whacked them against a bare rock!

no way,,, l always go with crocks

if the desired effect is ''self-inflicting pain'' then yes they would be perfect

absolutely if you want to fall to your death

no. guarunteed you will slip and fall and have an injury.

Excellent - Thereis a big mountain near me where you can start.

In a word no. Invest in a boot pair of boots that you can use for hiking and rock climbing.

If you are in a rock-climbing competition with another climber of equal status,it would be advantageous to you if your opponent were to wear flip-flops!

Oh definately, Especially if you wanna fall off!

l would have opted for stilletos myself :)

No way.

ive never actually been rock climbing but my guess would be no . no traction . loose flip flop .loose footing . could hurt yourself so wear proper gear .

Barefoot would be much better.

Flip Flops would only be good for rock climbing to use to slap the bugs and flies out of your way . good luck with the climb!

NO.better to climb barefoot.

I've seen people climbing in slippers, some will understand that.

But yes, flip flops are great when rock climbing. l like to let my toes breath in between climbs at a cragg after some tough single pitches by throwing on a pair of flip flops. Sure.

l am not one who will tell reader to purchase climbing footwear presently haute couture. I've climbed since '64 mainly on mud
smeared rotten limestone or wet lava using military surplus in
speleological pursuits. l am presently using Red Wing Forest
Firefighter Model boots for bouldering, caves, and woodland
hikes but if flip-flops turn your crank then so be it.

Flip-flops r nearly the worst footwear to use for rock climbing.

However, there do exist flip-flops that r soled with rock climbing rubber. These r of course made by rock climbing shoe companies, & two reasons figure into their existence:

1) High-performance rock-climbing shoes r generally not very breathable, & coupled with the fact that they r designed to be worn without socks. they tend to make ur feet quite sweaty & funky (odoriferous). You can not ruin flip-flops with odor, so they end up being the after-climb footwear-of-choice in situations where u do not have to deal with challenging terrain on ur way back to ur car (such as the case for indoor climbing). But why climbing rubber? Read on.

2) Rock climbing gyms r concentrations of climbers in a local area, & as such is often a social group. Sometimes on ur way out of a gym, a friendly challenge arises. Your climbing shoes r already off, so what do u do? Climb in whatever you've got. It is lazy for you, & devastatingly humiliating to ur challengers if u ''send'' (complete) a route/problem in flip-flops while they're in their technically-superior rock-climbing shoes! To do so requires an obvious superiority in climbing prowess, but flip-flops shod with climbing rubber help with this. In other words, they r a cheat to humiliating ur friends (in friendly competition, of course).
