I wear a size 7.5 shoe, what size of beginner rock climbing shoe should I get?

Have done some gym climbing and am just looking for an all-purpose shoe.

I wear a size 7.5 shoe, what size of beginner rock climbing shoe should I get?
As a beginner, comfort is more important than anythign else. While later on in your climbing career you may decide to sacrifice comfort for a tech fit, when starting out you will climb better in a more comfortable shoe. Go for a lace up with a solid base(lace up for more variation and solid to support your foot; you won't need to get stronger feet).





Hints:





Choose a snug shoe, but if your feet are still growing obviously leave room.


Try on both: most people have different sized feet.


Walk around in them, or even better, give them a go on the wall.
Reply:I'd go for a size 3..duh
Reply:A 7.5 so the shoe will not slip off of you while you are rock climbing
