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 ordered the Women's 39.5 which corresponds to US 8 according to size chart. For me, these shoes run 1/2 size small. So, for my normal size 8 running shoe, I would've needed size 40 which would correspond to 8.5 US. I've been extremely pleased with the comfort of La Sportiva boots and wanted to give these trail shoes a try. Toe box was roomy but didn't seem sloppy (but please note I did not run in these shoes). Design and upper materials all seemed good--may give these another look in the right size.
These are cushioned and responsive. Initially I thought they would not be very different than the Speedgoats, however they are. The Prodigious Pro give a lot for energy return and stability. I did get the half size up as recommended which fit perfect. Also loving the sock heel.
