Some manufacturers use non-stretch materials like Lorica. Lorica will not stretch, and hybrid construction primarily uses Lorica over the toe box to minimize stretch in that critical area responsible for most of the force applied. Synthetic climbing shoes stretch very little once broken in. It will simply conform to the shape of your feet once you start breaking them in.
Your Local Outdoor Store — Support your local community by heading to your local outdoor store that most towns have. Usually staffed with outdoor enthusiasts, local stores are a great learning resource with knowledgeable sales reps. They also frequently have gatherings and events for local climbers to participate in.
In addition, they often have huge discounts off older models to clear their stock to make room for the new ones. Most REI staff are avid adventurers themselves and can give expert opinions on shoe selection and fit.
Bonus Tip: Most climbing stores have a small wall full of footholds to test shoes. Shoes that are used horizontally can feel completely different when you are up a wall. So make sure you try those shoes on an actual wall to see how it performs on vertical terrain.
