Does Scarpa No Longer Make Size 45.5 or 46 Aggressive Shoes?

I've scowered the interwebz for a new pair of aggressive Scarpa shoes and can't find any ANYWHERE! I old Boostics are 45.5's. I was looking to get some in that or a 46 and can't even find them on their wesite. The only thing I see are the new Techno X's in 46. Anyone know anything about this or where to find any of the following shoes in a 45.5 or 46?

Mago Lace
Feroce
Boostic
Instinct Lace
Vapor Lace

Nope. Pretty sure they don't make clown shoes.

^ Rule 1 brah.

If they don't, that sucks. I was looking to get Boostic's in 45.5 3 or 4 months ago and it seemed like some places had them. Been waiting for em to pop up again....

I have the Instinct VS in 45, I can just get into them and I am only a size 11 in a Chaco sandal the. Stix only goes up to a size 44 so no love there...

None of my size 45 sportiva's cut it. I wear a 12 chaco and 12 in most street shoes, even though when I measure my feet they come out to 11.5 most times.

Mythos are fine, but not exactly a great edging shoe

The Sportiva's press hard on my big toe. Boostics seemed to be better designed for my foot shape, but alas a 45 would be too small.

Yes, unfortunately scarpa doesn't make any of their Agro shoes bigger than 45. I petitioned them a few years ago to bring the force Velcro to the US in a 46 (which was sold in Europe but not US) and they finally did, unfortunately they fit exactly the same as a 45! Supposedly scarpa has inconsistent sizing I've been told.

I feel for you, I'm consistently a 45.5-46 in sportiva and 13.5 in five ten and tenaya. The only shoe I would suggest trying is the Tenaya Oasi, I wore a 11.5 in those.

Scarpa makes great shoes, but so true about size inconsistency. My wife is on her third pair of Boostics, each one's been a different size, though they all fit the same... but she keep coming back to them nothing else fits or performs as well for her.

If Sportivas press hard on your big toe, you should try any of the Evolv models that have their "knuckle box" and "love bump" features. I was a Sportiva guy for 10+ years (as the bone spurs on my big toes continued to grow) until I bought a pair of Evolv Shamans. They fit my big toe knuckle perfectly and are now my absolute favorite for hard bouldering/sport climbing.

Thanks for the advice! I'll give em a try!

I just got a pair of "big" sportiva's (Katanas) and even though they are super sloppy in the toe box, they still rub on my big toe knuckle!

I've also been a Sportiva guy forever. Started climbing in Mythos ~20 yrs ago? Evolv wasn't even a brand back then..
