I wear a size 9 in every day shoes. Since you should buy larger mountaineering boots due to feet swelling at high altitudes, what size is recommended?

I would get a Euro 43.5 or even a 44. I think the Summit boots would be great for altitudes at or less than 5000m.

A 10 to a 10.5.I don't know how high you are going to climb . Pete , remember that you will also be at lower altitudes on the approach . I do not regard the summit as a high altitude boot . Scarpa has special boots for 6000 metre plus peaks . I wear one 1/2 US size bigger than my shoe size . My shoe size is 11 1/2 and I wear a 12 in scarpa boots , this allows for two pairs of warm socks . If you are going to climb at 20,000 feet in winter you need to look at Scarpa high Altitude boots that come with an attached gaiter for added warmth.
