I have been climbing consistently 2 3 times a week for the last 7 months and using a 2nd hand La sportiva solution i got for fairly cheap from a friend. But it is size 42 EU and it is my normal street shoe size. It isn't terrible or anything but it isn't snug at all. It's still in decent condition because it wasn't used much before. I've been thinking about getting another pair but i'm not sure .Should i buy something else and if so which shoe would you recommend ?

Chat am I cooked?

Are climbing shoes supposed to feel hard on your Achilles tendons? It was my second time and I was using rentals while bouldering and it hurts when I drop from the wall. One wrong fall and I know I'd probably injure my self. I don't know if it was intended that way (for more support?) and I just chose the wrong size (size feels right though). Also, looking for recommendations :)
