If you know what size you are in anasazi, 2-2.5 sizes bigger than that is about right i think.

This chart any help? http://www.rockrun.com/wp/rock-shoe-sizing-guide/

I'd try them on - but as Eddies said - I'm street size in Dragons and -2/2.5 (UK sizes) in Instincts...

Five Ten sizes are notoriously all over the place but as others have said, I take 8 in street shoes and 8 in Dragons.

I've got size 9ish feet but they're very narrow, I take 7.5s to get the width right but they're comfy in spite of this. Think I have odd feet.

I strangely size down on full size from my steet shoe. Am a 9 in dragons and 10/10/.5 in a street shoe.

I like them because for me they are the perfect balance of stiffness without loss of sensitivity, with good adjustability, decent amount of toe rubber and a good heel (if your heels are narrow). Worst thing about them is probably fact they lose their downturned shape quicker than other shoes such as solution or instinct vs.

I'm on my 4th pair now so may be a bit biased!

used Dragons for last couple of years but just replaced mine with Solutions and frankly find solutions better.  The dragons were good but the Solutions have the edge, pun intended.  I found Dragons great, good on steep stuff and loads of feel on slabs but toe/heel lacking on roofs.  Personal opinion as always and I'm a very average climber but would say first climb out I flashed a route I'd not got anywhere near on the dragons.  Coincidence?  Dunno.  Dont care.  I flashed it :)

Impressive that you flashed it having already tried it in the dragons, or is flash also based on shoe wearing?

That's what I was thinking, I think he's talking about a shoe flash!
