My hubby tried on numerous climbing shoes at a local store and there was NO hesitation in deciding that these fit his feet the best. I purchased them from Amazon (and saved a great deal of $ in doing so!), and he has been absolutely delighted with them. He is still a novice climber, but is very pleased with the fit and feel of these. He normally wears a size 12.5 - so he assumed he would need a  size 12 (for the snug fit), but the size 13 was actually the best fit for him.
