Personally I wouldn't use climbing boots for riding, you lose too much feel. Also they are so much thicker than a riding boot that you end up having to adjust the gear lever up, and then you have to lift your foot a yard or so to downshift. No thanks.
Also not the best for walking around in a hot climate...
At minimum, I use a good pair of riding boots, and a pair of runners for walking around, and you'll want to add your climbing boots to that.
Yes it's a lot of footwear, but worth it. If your feet are miserable so are you.
There's nothing so good as taking a pair of climbing boots off and switching to runners...
