Hi, I am thinkg about changing from La Sportiva Solution to 5.10 Blackwings but I have no idea which size should I order. I wear a 36 EU which is the same as 4 US. Thanks for any advice

What is your street shoe size? I wear a 41 solution but size 10.5 in Blackwings. My foot is 10.5 and the blackwings are tight...

I'd actually go up a half size. I wear a 9.5 in Anasazi and a 10.5 Blackwing. They are great shoes. I like tem better than Solutions. The only place Solutions are better is toe hooking. IMO.

I'm a 9 in street shoes and had to go up to a 9.5 in Blackwings. And they're still TIGHT.

I'm a 39.5 in futuras, which most people would say would make me a 40 in solutions (7.5?) and I wear a 9.5 in blackwings and they are pretty tight. I could go to a 9 if I really wanted to. like 9 is probably the smallest I could fit in without crying. I love the blackwings by the way. Might be my favorite shoes so far (I've had probably 8 pairs of different shoes).

Oh, and by the way, if Dragons are any indication, they really will not stretch. I know it's hard to believe but they're as tight as the day I got them, they just morphed to my foot a bit.

Go bigger. At least a half size if not one full.

I wouldn't go bigger than street shoe size. If you are wearing a 4 in solution you could probably wear a 6 or so in blackwings give or a take a half size either way depending.

At first, putting them on was absolutely unbearable. After sweating a bit in them, they have morphed to my foot and are perfect. Tight, but perfect. Sick shoe!

Blackwings and dragons run close to street shoe size, maybe downsize 0.5 if you want. And they don't stretch much.

After 2 1/2 years, hopefully the OP has figured out what size to buy. Lol.
