I have size 12.5 feet and wear a 41.5 in these shoes, which equates to about a US 9. After breaking them in, which admittedly sucked, they are now my favorite shoes, and are really comfortable. Obviously, this isn't the type of shoe you leave on your foot for more than a boulder problem or sport climb, multipitch need not apply. I wear an 11 in anasazi V2s, for perspective. Sportivas stretch, 5.10 does not.At size 8, I would go with 36.5 at the largest. Probably 36 if you are used to aggressive shoes. (These are not for beginners, you will shred the rubber until you learn good footwork)
