La Sportiva is a brand known for its very slim fit. We strongly recommend choosing at least a half-size up from your regular US shoe size. If you are at the upper end of a size range, consider going up a full size.
The Trail Runner Store does not assume responsibility if the sizing is still not a perfect fit for you.
