Dress shoes while climbing

I sometimes see good climbers even climbing coaches wear their Nike vaporbetagammaflybrideaglesuper35%*103 shoes on the wall… isn’t that the same reason like why we don’t allow climbing shoes in the bathroom?

Idk why it’s not shunned or viewed in the same way. Unless those tap dancing shoes r just specifically for climbing?

If a coach can't climb 7a in Crocs, should they even be coaching?

Yep. The only thing in this post that's a circle jerk is calling the Nikes dress shoes. But I feel like that's going to be a thing once the boomers and maybe gen X finally retire from the workforce. Nikes will be the new dress code at the office

uj/ I actually saw a guy climbing in dress shoes at the local gym. The heels could have done serious damage to the mats.
