Quote from: sdm on February 19, 2021, 03:12:18 pmWorth noting in case anyone has never tried them on that the Furia was much narrower in the toe box than an Instinct VS. The length is the same but the last and the fit are not.Instinct VS fits me perfectly. I can just about tolerate the pain of wearing the same size Furia long enough to complete a problem because of how much they crush my toes in to each other. If you have narrower feet, sticking to the same size should do you fine.Also, the heel is OK but is not Instinct VS levels of good. I've never found a heelhook where I preferred the heel on the Furia over the VS. Same for toe hookingI found a similar thing with Dragos, and Chimeras, compared to Instincts. Instincts fit my feet perfectly and the other two are too narrow and no matter how much I downsize the heels have so much bag. Which sucks as I'd love a good pair of soft shoes.

For an even softer shoe try the booster. Bit narrower than the instinct but very little support. I was surprised - as they look like overhanging small edge weapons, but are actually really good on smeary stuff.

Hi all - any advice on how the sizing of either the Womens Five Ten Anasazi Lv Pro or Mens Five Ten Dragon - both mentioned above fit. I've never had the opportunity to try on any Five Ten/Adidas shoes.For reference I tend on the slim side of foot, with not much broadening towards toes. My current shoes are La Sportiva Solutions (not the brand new softer heel, the previous moulded solid heel version) in 39.5 - these are right on the edge in terms of being very tight (plastic bag trick to get the shoe on due to very narrow elasticated opening etc) but at the same time a really good fit. Also I own a pair of Scarpa Womens Lace Up Vapour (the lace up is essential, usually Scarpa seem a little wide but I can really crank the laces!) size 41. These are way less technical but they work well for warm ups, endurance stuff, anything not absolute limit bouldering.Thanks!
If the total order (including delivery) is less than £135 there’s no VAT or duty. If it’s over you’ll have to pay these on top of the sales price.

I’ve heard that the newer Anasazi Velcro’s are a bad fit round the toes - allegedly a build error at the factory
