La Sportiva Solutions sizing

I know I should try them on, however I'm looking at ordering some online.

I'm an 8.5 in Verdes. Can anyone who uses both give me a rough idea of what size Solutions I should order. Thanks.

Thanks, I'd already seen that: suggests a size 8. I just wanted somebody's personal experience.

I'm a size 8 - 8 and half and my solutions are 5 and half, I could have probably got into 5s but said to Braaan I'm a man I'm not getting size 5 shoes.

I'm around a 7 / 7.5 in Verdes and I found a 38 (so UK 5) to fit me at a recent Sportiva boot demo. I've been hoping for the same information re: teams as nobody seems to actually have them to try on!

ps - I'm still a man, no matter what that bald git says.

Cheers guys. I'll make a rough guess between 5 1/2 and 8. From prev experience I'll try the 8s first.

I reckon try on a 41 solution, if you fit 8.5 in verdes G. You could prob go down a half size again if you wanted.

We're not alone, take a look down the reviews on BF.co.uk:

"8 to 6"
"9 to 7"
"I have gone down 2 sizes from a 9 to a 7uk "

etc.

Thanks guys.

My size 8s arrived yesterday and felt the right size after five minutes on the board.  I'll find out once I use them in anger, and once they stretch a bit.

Dense, you are already mad.....
