Cheers for suggestions all - I splashed out. My wall gives a discount for subscription members. Took the price down to being inline with anything online. Now I've got a warm up pair and 'sending' pair I can keep an eye out for a bargain for my next pair :D

I bought size 6.5 /eu40. They are very tight, only wearable with plastic bags. Think they are right and will stretch to be spot on though. Expect to end up with a very soft grit shoe.

I take 41 in all Instincts and same in old pink Anasazis and new Velcro ones (which I don’t generally wear as they are rubbish imo). Dunno about other 5:10 sizings.

Hope that helps.

Nice find!

Any idea on the fit of these? My feet are on the narrow/low profile end of things but would only wear these as a warm up / indoor pair. I recently bought some La Sportiva Solutions in EU 39.5... I know these tend to come up small but they are right on the limit of what my feet can fit in, plastic bag trick and one-two attempts before taking off for a rest. Plan to keep these as a 'try hard' pair and don't want to trash them indoors etc.

A few years ago I had a pair of Scarpa Force X in EU 41 - remember these being fairly snug but could wear for extended periods without issue so might go for 41. Ideally Peak forecast will be decent for this weekend and I could pop in and try them on but that doesn't look very likely :/

I take a 43.5 street shoe, in Scarpa Vapours and Instincts I'm a 41.5 for a performance fit. I've got a wide-ish foot, long second toe and a high instep, if that helps.

What's the chimera like? Annoyingly I'm 43 in Instinct VS and they're all gone.

All go outdoors stuff is 20% off normal.

They also have the organic simple pads at £155. Which is as cheap as I’ve seen them anywhere in ages...

It’s basically a hatchback version of the Scarpa Montego.
