Great Shoe-- Bad Fit

The shoe is really comfy, has a great toe, and definitely a buy for trad or sport. The heel is iffy, but then again it's a slipper. My only concern is the sizing. Very few stores offer this shoe to try out, and the sizing is way off. I have a 10.5 street shoe (US) and I ordered an 8.5... still way too big. On the first wear I fit easily into the shoe, and now that it stretched out it's barely usable. I would recommend 3 sizes below street for anyone who likes to edge... especially when bouldering. The toe box is massive, so for those with wide feet, this is a great buy.
By far the best part is comfort, so much better then the 5.10 mocs

the toe box is definitely not massive, these are very narrow shoes...not quite as narrow as the testarossas, but close.
