Any have these that can talk about the sizing? I have flat feet w skinny heel; trying to decide if I should go 1 or 1.5 sizes below street shoe (10.5). (Mainly for bouldering but I don’t need to go hella agressive) Thoughts?
My street shoe is 11.5 and I wear 41.5 in my dragos which I think translates to a size 9 roughly. I also have flat feet, but the heel cup is really good. It takes a bit to get used to them, you really have to break them in, but now I can comfortably wear them in between a couple climbs without dying.
I wear 9.5-10 street shoe size, 41.5 in Drago’s, same size I wear with the Instincts and all Sportiva’s. Still a bit tight resulting in instant pain in foot from smashing toes in there, but they are loosening slowly. Heel feels very secure. I’m not flat footed. The size squirrel website may help, but they were way off on the Drago sizing.
I have a size 9 street shoe and own a 41, 41.5, and 41 LV model. Consider the LV based on your foot type. I promise you, they will stretch more than you think and become much more comfortable. The 41.5 were almost immediately comfortable, stretched to the point that I love them, but now use them as a warm up shoe with thin socks and steep projects with generous feet (think Tuna Town). Smearing is a breeze, edging is harder on small edges with this fit. The 41’s I almost sent because I thought “f*** that!” But!! So glad I stuck with it. Two sessions and they were incredible. They’re pretty comfortable, and smear, edge, toe hook, and heel hook very well. The LV’s are a similar story to the previous except they fit just slightly different. They’re comparable for me, slightly more comfortable heel, a touch less down turned. Hope that sprayathon helps in some way.
