| I bought a couple of pairs of Red Chili shoes this summer without trying them on first. Turns out they don't fit my feet - the perils of online shopping. My loss is your gain.
For size reference, I wear a 10.5 street shoe, and wear LaSportiva approach shoes in 44.5. I have narrow, low-volume feet.
First pair:
Red Chili Corona VCR, size mens uk 9, BRAND NEW. Still with the Red Chili box and tags attached, never climbed in them. They're just too tight for my feet - I can barely cram my toes into them, and I think I'd be screaming after 50 feet. I think they'd be perfect for someone 1/2 size smaller than me. $60.

Second pair:
Red Chili Mescalito, size mens uk 9.5, nearly new. They've seen two 100' sport routes. These are just a tad bit too roomy - which is surprising considering the Coronas in half a size smaller are too tight. Maybe the sizing changes a little with the shoe model. Anyway, bought 'em for a tightish trad shoe, and they are just a little sloppy in the toe. Asking a bit less since they've been climbed in - albeit barely. $50.
