Thanks...that's reassuring. Let me know if you get back into it. I try to go once a week and it's usually Wednesdays (anyone else who reads this is welcome, as well).
It's no wonder everyone changes into flip flops right when they unclip. I was told that your feet are supposed to be scrunched up because it helps you dig into/grip with your toe-ends. Admittedly, I'm not an expert or anything, but it makes more sense to accustom my actual toes to gripping and adjusting to different surfaces like when I go trail-running. I've also noticed that I can climb for a lot longer than most people and it's my developing grip that's limiting me as opposed to my legs/feet like a lot of people that I watch.
I was walking like I had dystonia when I tried on a pair of climbing shoes

Scarborough/downtown depending on the day. Selling a harness?
