Advice on Spantik sizes
Hi there... planning to buy these boots for Aconcagua/Rainier/Denali trips during the next 9 months. Currently have Scarpa Manta GSBs in size 44 and wondered if anyone had advice on what size to go for in the Spatniks? (annoyingly, no stores in the Bay Area have these in stock so I'm going to have to order a few sizes from Backcountry and then return the ones that don't fit).

I normally wear a size 8 shoe. I have size 42 Spantiks that fit great. I think I could probably wear 41.5 as well, but my 42s are perfect. I find that it helps to loosen them up for approaches in which case they walk fine on non-technical terrain. Then, I'll cinch them up for vertical ice, etc.

I find La Sportiva and Scarpa's both run pretty true to size and similar with Scarpa's generally running a bit wider. These are great boots...see my review. May you enjoy climbing in these boots!
