Very tight

I hope it gets a bit loose soon it’s very tight. My toes hurt.

Bought size 45.

I’m a size uk 9.5 but have wide feet.

Might need to stretch it a few times to make it more comfy.

Disadvantages
Not comfortable

Great shoe for wide feet

My go-to shoe now (had a few pairs, and a few resoles) Great for hard climbing at the gym and the crag. They take a good few sessions to fit well, but then they are like a glove.

Good shoe. Perfect for wide feet.

Durable, versatile.
I'd recommend you to size down from the street shoe as they stretch like crazy.
