First impression: Runs large
New product so giving a first impression on sizing, not a performance review. I am returning to downsize. I wear a size 9 or Euro 42.5. Size 9 in the Verto are too big for me. Before I even put them on I thought...huh, they look big. Previous approach shoes for me...LaSportiva Boulders (42.5) and Salewa's (9) have been true to size with the Boulders even being too snug in the toe box for my foot. I can kick my toe to the front of these size 9s and have room to slide my finger between the shoe and back of heel. Note that the Verto Euro size as listed in the shoe for the 9's is a 42 2/3 which makes them a larger than standard 9 = 42.5 which I am used to. Hope this helps slow down the number of returns!
Great for higher volume feet
Finally an approach shoe that fits my wider foot. Really comfortable and great traction. Enough underfoot for long days without losing connection to the ground and rock. Simple and well done.
Downsize recommended
Follow up to size review. After returning these and downsizing a half size (9 to 8.5), I returned them again as they were still too big. They are light and generally comfortable, but if you want an approach shoe that is snug but not tight, you may want to downsize a full size.
