Verdon Lace was the same sizing as Whites for me. I liked them, slim fit (like Whites), pointier toe gets right into the back of little notch type footholds (eg Powerband) and pockets, where the Whites feel really clunky, and the slight downturn which keeps them feeling stiff for edging even as they get old and worn. I'm still looking for a decent replacement to be honest - the popular Scarpa ones are too wide in the toe box for me.
Are the Verdon velcro a new model then?
