I got this shoe as my first pair actually. Had a friend pick them up for me. My street shoe is a 10.5 womens and I got the 9.0 in this shoe which is a 42 in European sizing. I've tried other shoes on in the past and tend to go by this size as it is all around more accurate. Anyways, I had them on around the house a few days before I actually went climbing. The heel and rear of my foot were extremely comfortable in them but my toes and the front of my foot were almost unbearable. I went climbing at an indoor wall (did all bouldering) and ended up having to change shoes. That being said, just order true to size because I don't think they are going to stretch much. Not an entire half size at least. For the hour that I was able to use them I was in awe (aside from the discomfort every time I jumped off or hit the wall). The rubber on this is phenomenal and the way they edge is just awesome! I noticed a difference in my climbing and I hadn't gone for about a month. Just a great shoe that gives SUCH control. I'm excited to get my 9.5's so I can use them again. All I would say is order your size and you can't get a better shoe.

I purchased this bag about 4 months ago and have used it very often. I guess for what you pay it's a decent bag but I can NOT stand the way it closes. The bag loses it's shape quite easily and also the way the top is (material and all) it causes a fair amount of chalk dust to fly out. It's durable and has held up well enough I just have a real issue with its closure. I guess it's just more annoying than anything...I'd spend your money on a better bag like prAna.
