Regarding size - I wear a women's 6.5 to 7 shoe give-or-take and after Googling the crap out of "Nepal EVO women's sizing" and not getting a whole lot of guidance, ordered a 38.5. The fit was too tight for anything beyond a liner sock, so I'm sending them back for a 39.0.

Did any of you purchase the size 37 boots and they didn't fit and want to sell them? I am looking for some but can not afford them at full price. Email me at jbrine@uvm.edu if you have any you want to sell!!

I wear a size 6 and most 37 mountaineering boots work beautifully for me, however I ordered these in a 38 and they seem to be fitting very well, they don't feel squeezed even after swelling. I use a liner and a medium weight merino wool sock.

Good idea to include this information. For what it's worth, I wear a size 6.5 in street shoes and am a 38 in these. I wear mine with heavy mountaineering socks and a thinner liner and they're very comfortable. I could prbly go down to a 37.5 and still be comfortable, but they didn't have that size available when we were purchasing. Versatile boot: good for ice climbing and am always surprised at how well they edge.

For reference, my wife wears a 7.5 in normal street shoes and for a little extra room for thicker socks and foot swelling needed a 39.5 in these boots.

was the 37 the right size?

I'm really nervous ordering, especially after reading this, but I'm a women't size 6.5. I've tried on these boots in a store a while ago and I know I asked for a 6 and a 6.5. The six (which would be a size 37) were slightly too small (I think... at least I'm worried about thicker socks with them) and the 6.5 was a little too big, but I was planning on thicker socks. If you're also a 6.5 in a 39.... hmmmm, I'm wondering if I'm way off on my ordering with these sizes! Why are women's ice climbing and mountaineering boots so hard to find?? Guess I'm going to risk it and try the 37 since that's all they carry in stock and hope they work.
