These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever climbed in. Like other reviewers, I too have a narrow foot. Normally a size 10.5 in street shoes, bought these in 9/42 and they gave been my go to shoe for two years now. Minimal stretching in that time but definitely some. I've climbed outdoors and indoors on these and even prefer them on long multipitch routes. The toe box is really comfortable with my toes bunched up "just right" and makes edging or precision placements easy. They have held up amazingly well but I take care of my stuff.

Great for edging and narrow feet

I wear a women's US8 in street shoes and ordered a USW7.5/USM6.5 and they fit perfectly. I used to wear a USW7 in these for a tighter fit that also hurt, but feel like the half size up works just as well for performance at the upper amateur level. They are snug and my toes are pushed close together this way. These shoes are super great for edging on small foot holds because the narrow toe box lets me easily control where my weight goes, and they still retain enough flexibility for larger volumes if you only want to have one shoe. I also feel like the heel is snug and tight enough on my heel for hooks. I do wish there was some more rubber for toe hooking but that would compromise the lacing system that makes these shoes fit like a glove. I have SUPER narrow and low volume feet, and would not recommend these shoes for someone with wide feet.

My new go to

I’m kind of amazed by how versatile these shoes are. They blend edging power, precision, and sensitivity like no other shoe I’ve worn before. On top of that it’s comfortable enough to wear for quite a while. I usually wear a 12.5 or 13 in street shoes and I got my Tarifas in 10.5. If I bought them again I might go down a half size to a 10 for a super precise fit.
