I wear a 40 in miura lace ups and would like to know what size this would translate to in the testarossas. Additionally, what is the stretch like in these shoes. My thought was the I would purchase the testarossas in a 39.5. Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.

i wear a size 40.5 in the katana and a size 40.5 in the tesstarossa. It'll hurt like hell but once it stretches it'll only make you cry on the inside

La sportiva shoes generally run very close when comparing one model to the next. Both have lined uppers so they will stretch fairly the same amount. there might be a little difference because of the Lorica in the testarossas. The testarossas are also a more aggressive shoe which tend to fit snugger than other types. I would order the 40's or if you want to change go up 1/2 a size not down b/c of the aggressiveness of the shoe.
