I do not own a pair of these, but did try them on recently. Clearly I can't comment on the performance but I have valuable input on the fit.

These are for NARROW feet. Also, I believe you shouldn't size down much from your street shoe size; I tried on a 39, whereas I often wear 38s in other brands of climbing shoes, and the 39 almost felt small.

I stretched the shoes before my second use by sticking hammer handles in them; I did not stretch them before the third use, and the pain was back. In retrospect I would size down a half size AT MOST.

I wanted a performance climbing shoe, and a friend convinced me to go for the Scarpas. After consulting with him, I sized down - I wear a size 8 and I bought the 7 1/3 (based on the euro/American size chart). When I first tried them on I was afraid I had made a terrible mistake. I could hardly walk in them. The first time I climbed in them I complained. A lot. Yet at the same time I cruised a 5.12. I decided they were keepers - they really did perform well for me. The second time I wore them climbing the pain factor was much less, so they really do break in. They are beautifully made, really quality shoes and I'm so glad I got them. They do crunch your toes, though!
