Why don't climbing shoe manufacturers openly publish whether their shoes fit narrow, averagely wide or wide? (or low, medium or high volume)?

If you search deep down on the italian sportiva website (hidden on the english language one), you can find that they admit:

Wide forefoot:
Genius, Speedster, Testarossa, Miura VS, Jeckyll VS

Average forefoot:
Genius, Solution, Python, Cobra, Katana Laces, Mythos, TC Pro, Jeckyll Lace

Narrow (Close?) forefoot:
Futura, Miura Lace, Katana

Which makes sense to me having owned quite a few of these.

This seems like this should be easily accessible public knowledge - maybe UKC could get together a list that might help with the 1xweek "What shoes for my narrow feet" question?

Suggestions:
Five ten (apart from galileos or stonelands); All narrow?
Scarpa Instincts: Wide?

Yours?

It'd be better if they published the actual sizes in mm of the lasts they make the shoes on.
FWIW 5.10s are always too wide. Along with all other makes since about 1985. 😡

We could take this to the next level - if everyone recorded which shoes they had owned, the size, and how they rated the fit, you could work out which other shoes would likely be good for you based on what already works.
