I don’t recommend buying climbing shoes online unless you’ve tried the specific model and size before because they are meant to fit tight and every shoe fits differently.

Size-wise, I found these fit the same as the Flash and Con-series line. I wear size 10 street shoes, and these fit tight with my toes fully curled in size 10. 9.5 was super tight, 9 was even tighter, and I could barely squeeze in 8.5 with pain (not recommended). The leather has a hemp lining so I don’t expect these to stretch much at all, and these won’t stink like synthetic shoes. The rubber at the bottom is kind of thin for great sensitivity, but I’ve heard one friend put a hole in them. Again, don’t expect bomber Italian construction, but for the price, technology and performance, these can’t be beat. But again, try before you buy online.
