foot binding is alive and well in the rock climbing community. i am 'recovering' from fit issues from the last 7 years. since covid i gave up on rock shoe fitting style (which bled into my regular shoe fitting as well) and my feet are much happier now, though still not great.

Locking cycling shoes are also preposterously narrow too. I guess they're all about aerodynamics.

yeah my first pair were a specialized shoe and my foot went numb from the bridge being squished. i have some crankbros and fiveten which are both much wider, though for road i hear shimano have pretty comfy toeboxes.
