All climbing shoe models fit differently. We put together our 'shoeculator' to help you find the
right size in a new model, compared to your old climbing shoes or street shoes.
Choose from the options below to find your size in the EB Balboa
Climbing Shoe
OR
Street Shoe
This sizing advice is based on two pairs of brand new shoes. Leather shoes tend to stretch
more than synthetic shoes. When switching from synthetic to leather you may want to select a smaller size.
Designed with input from 9c crusher Seb Bouin, the EB Balboa is the ultimate project crusher. With a modern slipper construction, this shoe is cinched down with a single velcro strap to ensure your foot stays in put during strenuous heel hooks.
With an aggressive and downturned design, the Balboa is best suited to bouldering or high end sport climbing, especially on redpoint attempts. The rubber compound used in this shoe is super soft, and with a split sole this allows you to claw in on the smallest overhung edges. On more vertical terrain, the shoe's midsole provides the support you need to stand on small edges.
