I wear a size 41 in the Solutions, should I get the same size in the Katana's? I ask because the Solution is more turned down and I wasn't sure if that mattered or not. Thanks!

I wear a 38.5 in Miura VS and Solutions, but I have to wear a 37.5 in Katanas. My Katanas squeeze the cuss outta my feet but they'll stretch over time anyway so no big deal. Miura VS and Solutions I sized up in Bishop, down to the most perfect fit possible. So Katanas go a half-size to a whole size (cm) down.

I wear a 40.5 in both... but the fit is different. The 40.5 katana is fairly comfortable and the 40.5 solution is tight (actually they were insanely tight out of the box). I wear the katana on longer routes and the solution is more if a bouldering/redpoint type of fit. If you want a similar fit as your 41 solutions I would think about dropping down a half a size in the katana but ideally you should try them on at shop.

From what I've heard, they are quite similarly sized, but your best bet is to go to your local shop and try them out.
