• Don't get shoes too small! Indoors it's ok (but even then, I would still go for comfy ones rather than small 'technical' ones).

    Once you go outdoors, unless you carry trainers or flip flops with you (more weight on your rack) you're going to be walking back down the side of a mountain in them - get ones that fit you, and don't let the shop people sell you ones that are a small size 'because that's what everyone gets'!
