Hi there, I apologize for my English in advance.

I've climbed for a while and wanna try Drago due to lots of athletes using it.

There are currently out of stock in my country so I have to purchase them online, which means no chance to try on.

I'm currently wearing La Sportiva theory EU43 with tight fit and La Sportiva Python EU42.5 with comfort fit.

I got confused that Bananafinger suggest EU44.5 but SizesQuirrel suggested EU43.5 based on Theory EU43.

Does anyone have experience with these three shoes that can share some information?

Thanks

*update*

Thanks for all your information, I ordered EU 43.5 size, finger cross.

I'll share how it fits after I get it.

Cheers

I generally wear 41.5 in Sportiva (I had a pair of Theory's that were 41.5) and a 42.5 in Dragos.

I wear one size larger for scarpa(41.5) vs la sportiva(40.5)

If you are a 43 in La Sportiva you will be a 44 in scarpa. What you have to figure out is the difference in width. A wider shoe will feel bigger. 

Thanks, I'm curious which one is wider? I have wide feet and Theory fit quite well.

I’m a 42 street size and like the 42 low volume scarpa. The regular drago (not low volume) will be kind of similar width to the theory but not stretch as much

In general, scarpa shoes are wider than la sportivas. Here is a link to a guide of scarpa shoe types/shapes.

Some of their Low volume shoes are only low volume in the heel of the shoe, which is perfect for me having a wide forefoot and a narrow heel.

Summery of important details; Scarpa dragos are designed for Egyptian foot shape and have a narrow width in the bunion area.

Scarpa instincts are made for greek feet and have a wide width in the bunion area, my favorite shoe. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
