How I choose the correct size?
All climbing shoe models fit differently. We put together our 'shoeculator' to help you find the right size in a new model, compared to your old climbing shoes or street shoes.
This sizing advice is based on two pairs of brand new shoes. Leather shoes tend to stretch more than synthetic shoes. When switching from synthetic to leather you may want to select a smaller size.

Great aggressive shoe
These are a great shoe for bouldering, nice and aggressive so good for overhangs, but also very stiff so work really well on tiny edges despite being downturned. The stiffness does mean there is less feel for the wall compared to a softer shoe, but the trade off for that is less tired feet. I got 2 sizes down from my street shoe which fits perfectly now but was not a pleasant experience to first stretch them out, I had to wear them around the house alot before i could face climbing in them. Heel and toe hooking feel absolutely fine in them, and the 3 straps give a really personal fit for a velcro shoe.
Gave them 4/5 because 90% of the time i just wear my Moccasyms because they are much more comfortable, then i put these on when i need to send something hard.
I bought the Miura's with a size based off Katana lace (Miura VS 2 sizes down) after the Katana shape didn't fit well.
The Miura velcro's fit very well on my somewhat wide feet. I have 43.5 shoes when I wear 45 street shoes. I went for a more comfortable fit, and they fit great! I can wear these shoes all day, and don't heavily compromise on performance. The edging ability and toe precision with these are great. Unfortunately the aggressive shape and stiff sole don't offer the easiest low heel smearing.

A very accurate shoe with a good deal of support and grip which remaining relixble. however these rub the skin off the tops of my toes so are painful.
My solutions 1/2 a size smaller dont do this.
If the shoe fits your foot then i think it is a good shoe and other than the top of the toes it fits me very well.
I havent tried edging and smearing enough to comment in this shoe but it is accurate and supportive.
Having used the lace up version of this shoe (The Miura), I was a little apprehensive about the side grade to a pair of velcro equivalents, having found that, generally, the lace ups give a tighter fit.
My apprehension was misguided however, and these shoes actually fit a tiny bit better than my last two pairs of Miura laces. The velcro positions allow you to tighten the shoe right where it's needed, and the toe box on these, as with the lace up versions, is tight and powerful, exactly what I like. A major problem I had occasionally with the lace ups was with the heel being slightly loose, and prone to slipping when hooking, but I haven't yet had this problem with the fit of the VS.
All in all, i'll be switching to the VS for the foreseeable future.
