I went half an EU size down figuring that I wouldn't have as much trouble getting them on.  It's too early to tell if i made the right choice as I'm still in the painful breaking in stage, but no issues getting them on or rubbing excessively in one place.

hmm bizarrely enough im thinking the 39's i ordered and received feel "bastard" (sorry) tighter than the 39 stix.

 This is based on me wearing them as i type this and them hurting at a level of pain that imples about a haaaaaaaalf size smaller.  Next pair i might get some 39.5's

I've bought 43.5 & am a 44 street size and they feel hugely painful - hope they stretch a bit!

After just trying them, the sizing is exactly the same as the Stix. Which is nice.

i've had a pair of stix and a pair of boosters for a while, and although they did feel the same originally; the stix have given way more over time than the boosters have.
