ARON'S ADVICE:

Go somewhere that has a great return policy like Zappos. http://www.zappos.com or REI. Try stair climbing in them at home. You don’t have to “break them in” to know if they’re going to fit right. Clean them and treat them with what they recommend.  

CLOTHING - 

You want a Nylon Pant with 4-way stretch. It is better than Polyester & Spandex.
