Indoor Climbing Shoes for Flat Feet?

I%26#039;m looking for a comfortable pair of climbing shoes to do some indoor climbing, but I have flat feet. So far, all the shoes that I have tried have a very high arch and are very narrow shoes, so they are pretty uncomfortable. Any recommendations?

Indoor Climbing Shoes for Flat Feet?
First of all, FYI, indoor climbing shoes are the same ones you use for outside.





As far as fit goes, I have wide feet and I like La Sportiva and 5%26#039;10.





Usually beginner shoes do not have the big arch like the more advanced styles do. Beginner shoes are cheaper too! Have you tried the 5%26#039;10 lace-ups? They are like the staple climbing shoe, they rent them out at all the gyms. Hey why not rent a pair your first time and see how they fit?





Just keep trying shoes until you find one that fits you without too much pain. Understand that your shoes will stretch a little with use, so they should be a little uncomfortable at first. however, don%26#039;t let anyone tell you that your climbing shoes should be 2 or 3 sizes below your street shoes. It should be more like 1 size smaller. Sore feet will not help you climb any better!
Reply:Stay away from Scarpa climbing shoes, they tend to make the toe really pointed so there%26#039;s like a huge arch, they look cool and you think %26#039;yeah I%26#039;m gonna be a shite hot climber in these%26#039; and then you stand up and you hear your feet make an audible crack. Also stay away from Mad Rock as they are notoriously narrow. When I started off the club I was in had Red Chilli Sausalitos. Not the most technical shoes, not even the best shoes. But they were very comfortable even if I wore a pair a size too small, I think cause I could undo the lace and then relace them so that they were perfectly snug.
