| If you have these boots or other Scarpa Phantoms could you please post your street shoe size and your boot size. I am trying to get an idea on size/fit. Thanks |  FLAG |

| I wear a 7.5 medium shoe. My Phantom Guides were 42 Eu, and fit perfectly. I also have a pair of Scarpa Cerro Torre's 42 Eu, and they fit the same--so I'm pretty sure Scarpa is solid across sizes. With that said, I wear a size 10 or 43 1/4 Acopa JB. Go figure. (I wear two pair of socks with the mountain boots--one very light and a second heavier wool sock--maybe that's where some of the differences with others come in). . . |  FLAG |

Thanks Here is what I wear: 10.5 5.10 shoes (street and rock) 43 Salewa 43.5 Scarpa P-Guide 43.5 Charmoz 44 Nepal Evo 44 Trango S The Scarpas are a little wide in the forefoot for me so I use insoles and boot boards to reduce the volume. |  FLAG |

| Pretty much always a 9.5 street shoe (10's in a few though) I wear 42 Phantom Guides I had Trango Primes in a 42.5 Oh yeah, the Phantom Guides RULE. |  FLAG |

| Steve William and Beagle have a pretty big difference there! Both wear a 42 PG but one wears a 7.5 street shoe and the other wears a 9.5/10! This is why I rarely find it useful to ask what other wear in a "street shoe". So hard to fit/size boots without being able to try them on. |  FLAG |

| US m's 9. Guide 41 6K 42 Love them! Just wish they were just a bit warmer! Was climbing in low single digits in the am warming to the upper teen's last week and they were a wee-bit cold. |  FLAG |

| Bump cause I'm curious too...and also, do the Phantom Guides and the 6000's fit similarly? |  FLAG |

| Phantom Guides are my hands-down favorite boot I've ever climbed in (out of 8). My foot is a perfect 11.5 on a Brannock Scale and I wear my PG's in a 45 1/2 (or 11 2/3) - yeah, it's bizarre sizing. |  FLAG |
By Dane Jan 3, 2013
| US 11.5 or a 12 depending on the shoe. 12s in almost every narrow running shoe. 45 in the Phantom guide, ultra and 6000. They are snug and I use lwt socks. 45.5 will also work. 46 is too big. Same sizing for me in all the La Sportiva mtn boots as well. |  FLAG |

| 11.5 sneakers or anything else for that matter and 44 Phantom guide with a Smart wool PHD medium to light cushion sock. So far these are the best dam boots ever. Fit like glove and climb just as well and still cozy on the approach.. |  FLAG |

| Thanks everyone, I wear a 12 in most street shoes so it sounds like a 46 or maybe a 46.5 should work great. If you use a sock liner, what brand do you recommend? I have gone away from them over the years, but would like to revisit them. |  FLAG |

| I think this exercise proves that you really need to try the boots on to know for sure whether they will fit properly or not. I wear a 10 / 10.5 in all of my street shoes and hiking boots. I fit perfectly into a 44 Trango S Evo but I needed a 44.5 in the Phantom Guide to get a proper fit. I have a pair of Baruntse's and a pair of Spatnik's in size 44 that are just a bit too small. I think I will try to "trade them in" for a pair of Phantom 6000's in size 45? 44? we'll see. Comparing all of the sizing from above it all doesn't add up, but whatever works is what's right. |  FLAG |
By Dane Jan 3, 2013
| My bet is a 46 will be too big. 46.5 even worse. I'd try a 45.5. |  FLAG |
By APBT1976 From Never never land... Jan 3, 2013
| I second what Dane said. I am a legit 11.5 and with a medium cushion sock i wear a 44 Phantom Guide. Anything bigger would be sloppy.. |  FLAG |

| Do the ankles break in on these boots? Little stiffer than I was wanting |  FLAG |

| No sock liners. I have a few brands and never wear them. The P-guides fit well without them. |  FLAG |

| I use Wigwam Gobi liners that I get at REI. If not too late, I wear size 12 street shoes and 45.5 Phantom Guides. 45s "fit", but give me heel blisters on long approaches. |  FLAG |
