My feet are almost a full size different and I decided I needed to stop pretending I could go with one size.  

Would buy a pair if cheap enuf, but if anyone else has this issue and either has the 'other' shoe to sell, or would want to go in on a pair to split the sizes...

Prefer La Sportiva Katana, Kataki, or Miura VS.  Open to other similar shoes but these I know well and I know these are my sizes.  
Located in Portland, OR but would pay for shipping for the right situation.

I do 39.5/39 as a 'pair' now but I think I can bump up a size to 40/39.5, esp for easiler climbing or multipitch.   So open to any single shoe in these sizes.

I would do this with the Katana Lace Women's. I have a pair of 39s still in great shape and could use a 39.5 for my right foot.

I don't know if there is a fit difference b/n mens and womens. I dont care much about what they look like - I'm funny-lookin' enuf already.
I am currently using a mens 39.5 Katana lace on my left and im happy with it... tho it needs a resole - as does my left 39 Kataki.  Hence a fairly fast need for another pair.  I am tempted to have my wife bring me a pair of 39.5 Kataki from Europe and use that for my left.  I could sell off the right.  

But I think they womans fit a bit more narrow than mens - and that would't work for me. 

tho Im also willing to do a 40 for the left and 39.5 for the right for more 'comfy' situations.  I tried on 40 Miruas today and they were "ok" - esp on the left (bigger).  I wore 39 Muras for both feet for 7yrs.

Hmm… sounds like a whole new forum topic idea is forming!?

Since I can't (that I know of) change the title... I'll post it here... I could go either 40 or 39.5 on the left, and 39.5 or 39 on the right.  So any single-shoe'ers out there or ppl who want to split a pair that work for that...  Kataki or Katana would be the top choice.

Good luck finding a shoe!

YEARS ago I was going to start a website called missmatchedfeet.com. Instead I just suffered.  I used to get one-off single shoes from a local shop for like $5-15, but that was ages ago.

You are in luck. I happen to have this right shoe sitting around! Very good shape, 90% of original rubber left I'd say. You can have it for a beak or two.

Not sure if you’d be interested in a pair of 39.5 Mythos (seems 39.5 is an overlap size of your feet) but if so let me know.

Thanks, but Ive never had much love for Mythos.  I got a pair for my first trip to Squamish and just never felt good in them.

I can send you a pair of 40 Katanas and just-resoled 40 Miura VS for $68 shipped. While nominally the same size, I can wear the Katanas for multipitch but I literally can't get my feet into the Miuras. Credit LaS goofy sizings. I'm not interested in selling any of these as single shoes though.
