Seb. Seriously? All you have to do is try the shoes on or look at them in person to see they are different. |

Go ahead, post stock photos all day long and keep talking out of your ass.Great, your the type of person who sees personal experience as better than numbers or hard facts aren't you? My completely fucked miuras. I would say i have had used the original miuras plenty. Have only tried on the velcro though, brand new they are about the same. Also yes i would agree with you they are different, one has velcro the other has laces, the laced one is also narrower. |

Seriously? You're thinking of getting those resoled?? Don't waste your time. |

Can I hijack this thread; I found it while searching for toebox. |

Katana laces, maybe? Can't remember if they're wider or narrower in the toes (think the Miura might be wider), but they're probably the best moderately aggressive/all around shoes. Super comfortable, but edge well because they have the same P3 and similar downturned toe as the Miuras. Real deal: Also, the Miura has a narrower toebox, so the Katana would probably be a great option. |

my buddy has wide feet and says the pinks are very accommodating. |

i have the lace ups and have the same issue-though im not minding-there is alot of room above the toes but they do edge amazing so i dont really mind-its just weird but oh well-i bought them comfortable and actually wear them w socks for longer routes[i'm oldish] and tired of killing my feet so i welcome the extra room |

I had the same problem with fit, but the other way around. |

Thanks for the replies. I climb in Katanas (lace) now and yes, they are comfortable enough, even in a small size. They climb hard enough for my climbing. So may I refine my question - instead of getting a second pair of Katanas, can you recommend a similar toebox shoe from one of the other manufacturers that I might try? Something at least as aggressive, but a little more wouldn't be unwelcome. Thx. |

Hmm. You might like the Pink Anasazis, they've been on my list for a while...but I think they'd actually be a bit less aggressive (albeit, stickier) than a Katana. Have you looked at the 5.10 Verdon? |

Have you looked at the 5.10 Verdon?I agree with your suggestion regarding the Pinks. As for the Verdons, they do have a nice wide toebox but I wouldn't consider them aggressive at all. I only use mine for vertical limestone, which is perfect for their edging abilities. |

Rock and Resole is selling shoes now too. They seem to have a wide selection, including, I believe, some uncommon brands. |

So I'll hijack too... |

Did anybody come across this too? My boot size is 12 and my Pinks were 11s. Any other 5.10 or size difference you guys would recommend?yes, pinks from what i understand have been notorious for their shitty heels since conception. |
