Look:
Shoe Size: Felt a full size larger than marked
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support
Not bad Not bad! I'm glad I ordered a tighter fit because the sizing is off a little. Fantastic smearing abilities, terrific toes, and a nice lite heel that helps with those V8's! Cool look and they do feel snug and comfy. Lace up is nice and they really do conform to your foot!

Good blend of Mythos and Miura - Smaller than same sized Mythos and larger than same sized Miuras. Very comfortable fit - toes not quite flat, lining material in toe box is very comfortable. Laces take a little bit of time to snug up. Pretty good edging performance given relaxed fit - may want to downsize for extreme precision. The look is "high tech" for a climbing shoe. Vibram rubber is ok, but I prefer 5.10 stealth for marginally better stickiness and durability.

Barracuda lace-up - The Barracuda is a great shoe that can be compared with the Katane (in relation to midsole and last), although the Web Rubber does not allow your toes to plunge out and provides a much tighter fit. Lacing system is fast and alows a glove-like feeling. Note: the tounge is fixed at both ends and keeps it in place. Perfect for edging, smearing and toe hooking. Size it small and you'll get a great sport shoe. Size big and you'll get a trad shoe, perfect for cracks. My shoe size is 42 1/2 Euro, and I bought them 38 1/2, for a technical fit for sport root (I can stand the shoes for more than 1 hour). Low to medium feet fit great.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Katana, Venom, Testarrossa

I've only tried them in gym - I have a size 43 street shoe. I bought a 39.5. I have a bit of a wide foot. They feel good.

My new shoes - They are O.K. shoes. Excellent for edging. But there are better shoes out there. Their sizing is wacked!!!!!! But I liked the shoes! You should get 'em.
