Five Ten Shoe Sizing?

I"m looking to replace a pair of La Sportiva Nago's that are in a size US men's 8 (EU 40.5) that stretched a bit. I'm looking at some Five Ten Teams or Blackwings in about 7.5 to replace them and I don't have a place near me where I could try some on so I'm doing this blind. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how the Five Tens may fit? Also, I wear a size 9 street shoe.

I appreciate any help!

My experience with 5.10 is that they run really small relative to other brands. You'll probably want to go with something close to your street shoe size or a half size under.

I don't have those models, but in 5.10 i've got galileo's and anasazi's, and iv'e tried on a few others, my experience is street shoe size is tight performance fit, too tight for me to wear on long routes. Half a size larger for a shoe i can wear for long periods without lots of pain.

Blackwings run true to size, you'll want a size 9, they will be tight (they are top end performance shoes after all), but will break in.

Yea, I wear the same size street shoe as I do the Dragons and Blackwings.

Dragons/Blackwings and Teams fit pretty similar and I wear my street shoe size. The Blackwings felt a bit wider than the Dragons/Teams and the 5.10 rep at the shoe demo when I tried them all on confirmed it, so keep that in mind if you narrow or wide feet.
