I am wanting to upgrade from my plastics (Lowa) into a boot that will give me more "feeling" while front pointing on vertical ice. My mind is pretty much set on these boots, however I am unsure of La Sportivas sizing. I know I should buy several sizes and try them out...but at $500 a shot...my funds wont allow it. I understand that I ma hve to buy a pair....try em out...returen them for a new size. But any help on sizing would be great. Garmont I am a 38.5Asolo I am a 38Solomon 37.5Ideas?? Help? so that i may avoid the return the boots process, and get it right on the first shot...

im a 10.5 street and 43.5 fits amazing in this boot for me. with backcountrys return policy its the only way to go. try them out, make sure they fit good. 500 bills is alot but your going to be hating life if you get the wrong size and your feet are falling apart on the climb. get the right size, plan in advance.

If it helps, my street shoe is a US 13.5 and I wear a 47.5 in sportiva. I find they run pretty true to size. Sometimes i can fit 13s in some brands but I have to go to 13.5 for sportiva.I wear 10.5 in running shoes and 10's in everything else. I went with 10.5's/44's in this boot to allow for different sock thicknesses. They fit perfectly! If you speak to La Sportiva they'll tell you that they designed this boot specifically for both vertical ice and extreme mountaineering. You'll love these boots!
