Have they streched much yet? Deciding how far to down size.... Its looking like half a size smaller than solutions. Sound about right?

Yeah 1/2 down from solutions is spot on. They have definitely become a lot more more wearable now after 5-6 sessions  :)

I'm awaiting my pair at the moment, but I managed to get my hands on some Scarpa Boosters so I shall be happy for a while  :smart:

Although I'm still annoyed with Scarpa for stopping production of them  :badidea:

Aren't they bringing out some new one? Boostics or something?

Yeah they're but it won't be until next summer, I've got my pythons now and they seem good, I feel like I should have dropped half a size though!

Got a pair from Snell in Chamonix for £68, really rate them. Take a 41 in Miuras and went for a 40 in these, pretty tight for the first few sessions but have streched out fairly nicely now. I like them, good heel, toehook nicely and I like the sensitivity for small footholds. Though, I swear the 39.5s in Snell were actually bigger so maybe a bit of a 5.10 moment there.

A place called " The Rock Centre " in Chudleigh, Devon are knocking them out for £55!!!!!! Google the site then give them a bell and for a few quid they will post them to you if you arent in that area. They can be very slow though.

Anymore comments on sizing? I tried a pair today in a 36.5 heel felt great, and shoe overall was uncomfortable but not painful. However I'm concerned about how much they will stretch? Shop didn't have a 36, tried the 35.5 which was very painful. Street size is UK 6 so a 36 would be 3 sizes down. Does this sound about right? Nowhere appears to have them in stock so they will have to be ordered in, thats why I have to get the size right. Not much to compare them to, current shoe is a Katana in a 38, which I didn't size down enough. Don't want to make the same mistake twice.

Any help will be much appreciated, ta.
