Any difference in sizing between the women's and men's miura? I have a low volume foot and wanted to give these a try but nowhere carries them for me to try on. I wear a 42 miura, 42 TC pro and want these to be fairly tight for edging but not have to remove them at every belay on a long route.

Same length, lower volume. 42 sounds a bit big for the women's version though.

I wear the lady Miuras and love them. I have 42s for gym and multipitch and smaller ones for sending my sweet, sweet 11d projects.

I wear lady's Miura lace ups, I have a low volume heel and find the fit better than the men's version. Sise 40 for me...

Do they stretch much? I'm contemplating the 41.5s

The velcro is lined and could stretch up to half a size. Laces aren't line and will stretch more than that.

Ok. Interested in the lace up. Thanks for the info.

I wear the lace-ups. size 42.5 same as my TC Pros. Even with regular use of shoe trees they don't seem to have stretched much.

The sizing is the same but personally, for technical edging, I prefer the harder Edge rubber that comes in the Men's Miuras, Lace or Velcro.

I felt like I was rolling off small edges w the Grip 2.

I could definitely detect a narrower fit in the Women's Lace version but not so much in the Velcro version. If anything the Men's Velcro feels like it fits my narrow foot tighter, but perhaps that's just because the Men's Velcro is also a stiffer shoe?

I thought the rubber was different too but not 100%

Lace-up Miuras are lined so they don't stretch much, and run smaller than the velcros (I believe VS are unlined). Not sure in bigger sizes, but in smaller (realistic women's) sizes, I can't really notice the difference in volume. All they did to decrease volume is they added padding on the tongue and the back, which I find annoying as I feel like it affects the sensitivity of the shoes.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
