Dear Luis,
Five Ten makes some shoes in size 13 and 14….the best thing is to call them and ask. The number is 909-798-4222, and they will be glad to help you.
Size 13 Moccasyms are very very big, and they also stretch, so even if your street shoe size is 13 or 14, they would work for you. An Anasazi Velcro or Laceup will fit tighter, and probably feel smaller in the same size, so definitely consider the Moccasyms.
I’m not sure which self belay device you are using for aid? Often the clove hitch is great for aid climbing, or a Grigri, but maybe there is something newer and better I don’t know about?
Have a great time, and don’t step on any small animals or children 🙂
