I would definitely give socks a go. I have had bad climbing technique for like 6 months, but after only 3 weeks of wearing socks my technique is now perfect! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
I'm going to try climbing with both pointed feet now too!

If bondage tape is tough to find, I would recommend self-adhesive bandage tape. It looks like an ace bandage roll, only it's self adhesive and you just trim a section to stick it to your foot! It's in the bandage area in Shoppers Drugmarts or Pharmaprixs
Because it's self-adhesive, it helps you climb while preventing some of the bruising.

Something that looks interesting to me for foot protection is Trixie Toes. I've been considering getting a pair for myself:

Thanks for the mention. I designed Trixie Toes so we can have protection on the bottom of our feet yet grip where we needit to climb. Mighty Grip was VERY patient with me when going thru the design and prototype phase. I truly hope you find they are useful.

I also use just plain old black electrical tape- protects and comes off w no pulling of the skin. One of my fav products- always have it w me, use it for my horse, pole and everything else!. Cheap , convenient and – it works!

Be careful putting any adhesives on your skin which aren’t meant for skin. Some people can have very severe allergic reactions. And because the product isn’t rated for human application, the components they use to make the tape and the adhesive could have impurities which could potentially be harmful.
Bondage tape is very similar to electrical tape and is also very cheap, but is meant to be applied to skin. Might be worth a try since you know the electrical tape works for you!
