I know many people who complain about listening too much to this "size way down" philosophy with their first pair of shoes. See climbing.com's forum for "lessons learned" on this too. Yes, you CAN size down 1.5 sizes and you will manage and the shoe will accommodate you. But that would also be stupid, you will cause yourself unnecessary discomfort, and you will hinder your performance.
Go to a store and try on shoes by La Sportiva to find the right size. Your toes should NOT curl up much in these shoes, even when they are fresh. Just get them snug, not painful. Then you can order them from here if you prefer.
