In reply to biker bill: Depends how technical you want them to be. If they're a first pair of shoes, get them AS tight as you can without being uncomfortable. If you get them too tight, then you won't want to wear them!

In reply to biker bill: The sizes on the box should be used as a guide, nothing else. Its not uncommon for climbing shoes to be three sizes from what you take in a shoe (in either direction!). only way is to try on as many as possible for as long as possible

It's more important that they fit your foot shape first, so try lots of different brands and models.

I found that (Scarpas) fit me being wide at the toes, so it would be tight all over, but not painful. Avoid a brand that is painful in a particular place, eg Big toe knuckle.

I'm bored tonight...
