l live in gardena ca and l wanna know if there is a rock climbing store that sells shoes around me. l wanna actually try on the shoes before l buy them

Look for an RE l store, they carry several different brands - some of the best shoes made like La Sportiva, Boreal, 5.10, etc.

Good Luck

the 'Up and Under' chain is really good. l have been buying my shoes from there for years!. they generally know what they are doing..
i would advise evolv shoes. they have very good designs at the moment. another recognised make l would recommend are chilli peppers but it depends on your feet. l wouldnt woory about trying them on though .. any good shop will let you try millions of shoes on to get the right pair. dont buy them unless they feel right to you!
