"rock boots" is a perfectly fine name for climbing shoes. I think "climbing boots" is just fine
- FrojoS 7y agoNot a native English speaker, and it might depend on the region/scene but I wouldn't agree with you. This is a rock boot (usually called mountain boot) https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f7/fb/96/f7fb9693adc35876240a09c12ef7d560.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f7/fb/96/f7fb9693adc35876240a... and this is a rock shoe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PRxN-KNqLs#t=127s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PRxN-KNqLs#t=127s
- skohan 7y agoMaybe it's regional but I have never heard of climbing shoes referred to as "rock boots", much less "climbing boots".
- justinator 7y agoOften used in England, which you could argue was where the hobby of climbing something other than a mountain gained traction.
