After trying on 9 or 10 different shoes i took the plunge and ordered these online.

The La Sportivas seemed to fit MY wide feet and mortons toe (2nd toe longer than big toe) better than any other brand. My first climb i felt the rubber was slipping, but was told that once the protective layer wore off they'd be the goods. THEY ARE!!!! I first ordered a full size down from my street shoe, but then exchanged them for half a size down instead. They're now perfect without socks (feet enjoy a breather after around 45 minutes in them).

Everyone's feet are different so do your research and try on as many as possible. Other than that these are really well made and are stretching in perfectly while retaining their integrity. On both pairs a seam near my right little toe was digging in but it's getting better with time. I thought it was my feet but my buddy is exactly the same. Really no biggie as the rest of the shoe fits like skin and time is sorting it out.
