In reply to humptydumpty:
I must admit i cant get on with flat type shoes at all, i feel much more confident in a downturned style shoe with my toes knuckled over.
Currently using the Skwama in a 9 and i am an 11/12 street shoe. Prior to that i used the Otaki in a 10, again pretty good.
Depends what you want to do i suppose, the size 9 Skwamas i use for bouldering which is my preferred style of climbing. I have some size 11 vapour laces for trad and some size 10 genius for sport and indoor leading.
The Skwamas were painful for around a week, couldn't keep them on for more than one route, they feel great now, snug, precise and solid on little edges.
Its all about fit (as in shape of the shoe), i bought some Scarpa Furias in a 45 and they felt like they were a size 5! The Skwamas are 2 sizes smaller still and much comfier!
