Scarpa Mago sizing and fit

Anyone use these shoes (saw another thread that doesn't answer my specific questions)? Wondering how they fit compared to other Scarpa shoes. I have Vapor Laces (last yellow/black version) and 43.5 is tight, 44 for more comfy but still tight. Vapor Vs (older) in 45 are all day gym shoes, but too big for anything above moderate (for me) outside. The instinct line doesn't fit as well as Vapors, too much front volume for the correct length. Anyone compare the fit of Mago (new version) to these? I will probably order 2 sizes and send 1 or both back. I've found little online about comparisons, except one review said they run small and to size up. Wondering if I should order 43.5/44, or 44/44.5 (or even 44.5/45 if they run that small). No local store has them or will order for me...

Many thanks

I am street shoe 10.5 and I have the Magos in 43.5, they are snug but comfortable. The heel is kinda mushy, which may have been less of an issue if I went down a half size. I have 43.5 Instinct S and 44 Chimeras that fit similarly, snug but not painfully tight. Sorry I don't wear Vapors for comparison. I really like the Magos for their precision and comfort, personally I'm glad I didn't downsize too much even if they don't heel hook as well.

Cool, thanks. Might try a 44 and hope for the best. Probably end up a typical online shoe shopping fiasco.

I sized up to 41 from my 40.5 Instincts and i wish i had gone up to 41.5 They are doable, but gnarly tight compared to the Instinct fit and the heel is still baggy. I imagine the heel will be baggy for most people regardless of sizing, though i do tend to have a problem with a lot of shoes feeling baggy in the heel.

Ok, maybe 44.5 then. I'm getting to old for ultra tight shoes. One tip for baggy heels, put a thin layer of silicone caulking in there where there are voids and spread it around with your finger (with glove). Works pretty well. Liquid latex might work too.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try this on a cheap pair and see how i like it!

I've also done similar on some shoes that shrunk up and became way too tight for me, and I modified them for my wife. Not perfect in that case, but better than expected.
