Hey there! I'm wearing a 41.5 Solution and it feels too big now it's been used for about 5 months. I've tried a new 40.5 Solution once and it felt bearable. Will it be a smart choice to go for a 40.5 Testarossa. I LOVE my pair of Solution, but this is my first shoe & I'd really like to try out some additional options. Since Testarossa seem very much alike... Please advice. Thank You In Advance

I had the issue of having Solutions that felt great for a month and then a bit too big, but when I tried to size down a half size, I couldn't fit my toes into Solutions, and Testarossas were the key. The Testarossas can be thought of as the same shoe with a bit more edge (not a lot), but essentially the same shoe in a lace up, which gives a bit of give in the toe box that lets you fit in your toes in a bit tighter and in a different way. The Solution size, should really be a good fit for Testarossas, but you might be able to try another half size down and fit well, in an even more aggressive fit, just because of the nature of laces and the extra leather vs toe rubber on Solutions.
