What's the sizing like on these?
Ideally, I'd just go try some on,
but canny find any stockists near me... (Canterbrizzle, Kent)
I'm a UK 10 (street shoes) UK 9 1/2 (La sportiva's) and a UK10 1/2 (5.10's)
In reply to memsley89: i would go for a size 10 in your case. i'm a 10.5 in five tens and got a 10 in the pontas. they took some painfull stretching at first but are now awsome. but then everyone is different-if them being v tight is not an issue get 10.5's
In reply to memsley89:
Im usually UK 10, but needed to get UK 9 for Pontas for a proper close fit. Found they stretched slightly, slightly painful at first, really good now.
I wear a 7 or 8 street shoe.
I had evolv defy in 7, and could maybe have worn 6.5. Good shoe apart from the smell which prompted me to get pontas velcro in 7.5, which is borderline painful.
I take a 9/9.5 in street shoes. Got Defys in 9's which are a nice all day comfy fit. Pontas in a 9 are too cramped for me to climb in comfort at all and totally unbearable after about an hour.

I got the Pontas Lace and they stretched out way too fast despite being assured that they wouldn't. Also, on the Lace version (dunno about the velcro one) the rand doesn't go up the heel very high so combined with the stretching I mentioned the heel is very squishy.
In reply to memsley89:
Mine stretched quite a bit, they also smell, a lot. My scarpa's barely have an odour and my day to day shoes are more than socially acceptable. Sizing I have 1 -1.5 sizes smaller than street shoes.
