Can anyone give me an estimate of Scarpa's climbing shoe sizes? I'd be interested in ordering a pair to try how they work for me, but I don't have the opportunity to test'em beforehands.

I wear size 42 EUR (8 UK) in Madrock and Fiveten, and size 39,5 EUR (6 UK) in La Sportiva. The model I'm looking for in Scarpa would be Stix or Booster..

Thanks!

In reply to tandem: There's some good advice and a comparison table at

Which suggests 41 for the booster based on 42 for the 5.10s.....

Bear in mind that the stix/booster kind of 'evolved' from the sportiva testarossa, so sizing is likely to be quite similar to sportiva rock shoes.

The fit in each one was a bit different when I tried them, but the sizing was pretty similar.

If it helps, I wear a painful(ish) size 42 Booster and I'm about 8.5 in normal shoes

Thanks everyone, I ordered Booster size 40 combining the information from different sources.. Let's see how they turn out to be..

The Stix has a pretty bonkers toe box imo so buying them without trying them on is pretty risky.

In reply to tandem: I wear Scarpa Visions at 44.5 and I wear 45/10 1/2 normal shoes, so the usual half to one size smaller.

The half size makes a difference - i have a size 45 too but these can't be trusted not to slip on small footholds.
