For boots: Add one half size to your street shoe size. You should be able to slip one finger behind your heel when you are standing up with the boot unlaced and your toes touching the front. If the boot is too short, your toes will get smashed walking downhill. Too long and your heel will slide up and down and give you blisters.

I was having problems with planters fasciitis. I received my new La Sportiva shoes just in time for a 20 mile hike. I was able to accomplish my goal pain free , thanks to a friend who recommended these shoes.
Fit just right. No break- in needed. Sturdy yet Comfy, not too heavy
These shoes are a a great fit. I have narrow feet with a low arch, they fit perfectly. I ordered a 9.5, that is my usual size. I hiked with them this weekend. Great traction and support. I’m very happy with them.
I decided it was time for a new pair of shoes after losing confidence in my old ones due to poor grip on wet granite. These are a major upgrade and provide impressive grip and support on technical terrain. I initially ordered a half-size up based on reviews and the fact that my regular size wasn’t available, but they were a bit loose. I exchanged for my regular size (10.5/42.5) when back in stock, and those fit perfectly. They worked well for me right out of the box, with no need for break-in. I can’t wait to put more miles on them.
