Unparallel sizing

These shoes look cool, but it's hard to find somewhere to try them on. Anyone have some info on the sizing of these? I'm specifically interested in the up lace. I wear 42 in street shoes, 41 in evolv shoes, and 39.5 in scarpa. Just wondering how these compare.

No idea on lace-ups. I believe there is a big thread on their shoes somewhere. I bought Vim's in size 10 and their tight but fit. I might go 10.5 in the future depending on how little they stretch. I wear size 42 in Drago's and VSR's and 42.5 in the VS and lace up Instincts. 9.5 in the old Hiangle's.

I have the Up Lace in 42 and it took about two days to break them in. I am a 42/42.5 in La Sportiva, 42 in Five Ten, and probably like a 44 in Evolv (I've never had a pair that fit my street size without a lot of pain). The Unparallels fit my foot a lot better than the Pinks and Miuras of the same size.

I wore and 8.5 in the Pinks and wear an 8.5 in the UP Lace.  Size 10.5 street shoe, narrow foot.  I love the UP shoes!

I sold my 10's and I'll buy some 10.5's in the future. I liked them but the pita getting them on wasn't worth it. They also did the thing I've seen in other Unparallel shoes where the toe rubber seems to be delaming from the rand. I know my footwork sucks but this wasn't it this time.

I have the moccs in a size 8.5 and wear 9 street shoe. The 8.5 is pretty small on me so if i get another pair will probably wear a 9, mostly because I’m climbing slab quite a bit. Great shoes though.

The Sirius runs small. I wear a 36 in Sportiva Testarossa, but wear a 39 in Sirius LV. I am a women's size 6.5 street shoe and a men's size 6.5 in Unparallel Sirius, which is a women's 8. I love the shoe. I wire Sportiva for 15 years and this is the first non-Sportiva shoe I have liked more. The rubber is super sticky and the shoe is soft. They break in fast. Don't really stretch much.

climbing partner and I both bought the same size of the slip on all black shoe a year or two ago.  Mine fit perfectly, his, the same size, are a full size or more smaller.  Company didn't respond to emails.  :(

Street Shoe (definitely not loose) 39-39.5

Sirius LV 39-38.5, Vim 38.5, Regulus LV 38, Mocc 37.5-37, Up Rise VCS LV 38

The Regulus LV is my go to, the fit is very tight. Size 38 for me in the Regulus LV fits similar to a 36 in Sportiva.

For most of the shoes I'd say don't go under 1 size down. The lining on all my lined shoes I fit tight tore at the seams. I found my best fitting pairs are the Regulus LV in 38, Sirius LV in 39, Mocc in 37.5 (training) 37 (bouldering)

Just my experience, it will all depend on your foot shape and how you like to fit your shoes.

I just bought the UPRise VCS. Compared to the Anasazi VCS, its higher volume. Is the UP Lace or UPRise LV closer to the old FiveTen Anasazi's in fit?
