SizeSquirrel - Climbing shoe sizing, recommendations, and deals

Project Status

One day I wanted to buy climbing shoes online, and the idea for SizeSquirrel sprung up.

I am thankful for everyone that has used and continues to use the site and support it in some way.

SizeSquirrel was never as financially successful as I had hoped and the many hours I spent on it were a labor of love. These days it barely manages to pay for the costs of running it, and I find my free time to be too valuable to continue working on it.

Going forward, I will do my best to:

• Keep the site active and operational.
• Add new climbing shoes to the site as they are released.

There will probably not be any work done on new features for the time being.
