La Sportiva Solution Vibram XS Grip2 Climbing Shoe
Sizing

Ranked #397 - Climbing Shoes

I wear US 11 (EUR 44.5) or US 11.5 (EUR 45.1) street shoes size and bought the Solution EUR 43.5 (US ±10.25). The solution is as tight as possible on the toes, but its a bit loose on the heel, if I walk it would create air between my feet and the shoes and when I step the air would scape. In the beggining I had to take it off every 5min but now I've been wearing it for a month twice a week and it stretched and the became good, I can handle 20min now. If you plan on can keeping them on for an hour or two I wouldn't recommend. As far as performance goes, edging is excellent and the rubber is very sticky. I also wear a Snake Anhangava II from Brazil size EUR 46, which is good for all day climbing but I would go down 0.5.

how much of a size difference do you think the La Sportivas stretched out? ive purchased them recently and im going through the break-in right now though i think i may have sized down too much as i can't keep the shoes on for more than a couple minutes without a lot of discomfort.
