The Cobra is not at all what I would consider a down turned shoe, like the Testarossa. It is a more standard slipper that is a great all around shoe if your feet are strong (you have the strength to stand on small edges without the help of an edging shoe). I size these and most all my climbing shoes large. That way I can be in them comfortably all day, or at least for extended periods without being in pain. Life has enough suffering without tight rock climbing shoes. Do yourself a favor and go BIG! The only drawback is that the shoe can "roll" a bit when you are trying to small edges, which can be overcome with strong toes/feet.
