Does anyone else reckon the scarpa guide is way off? I know that foot shape is probably a more important factor in many ways than width (if your toes don't fit the shape of the toebox then the width won't matter anyway), but they have the Vapour V listed as "narrow": even holding them up in a shop against the Instinct range, I'd say they're wider (and they certainly fit my fat feet more comfortably!). I'd also class the Arpia as a wide shoe. There are also weird anomalies like the Drago - on paper (narrow with 'classic' toe shape) it just shouldn't suit me (wide feet, fairly square toes), but because it's so soft, I actually find them remarkably comfortable! I find that the La Sportiva fit guide (if you can find it hidden away on their website) is reasonably accurate, but the Scarpa one just doesn't match up to my experience!
Anyway, sorry to derail the topic slightly there! I suppose what I'm saying is that there's no substitute for trying them on, even if you have to pay a bit more for postage!
