Hi all,


I have a wide foot EU 42 in street. 40 in Skwama and Testarossas. 40.5 in genius (still not comfortable but better than 40 which never stretched out enough) and 40.5 in katana laces (comfy enough for single pitches).

What size would people here suggest for solution 39.5/40/40.5 and solution comp 39.5/40/40.5?

No store to visit and try.
thanks in advance.

I'd say try 40.  I wear 40.5 for most LS. 40.5 solution is perfect. 40.5 genius felt too tight. I tried downsizing to size 40 solutions and it didn't work, they were too tight to climb well for me. So it sounds like my foot is about half a size bigger than yours.

I wear 39 Skwama and 39.5 in both the Solution and Solution Comp. The Comp does feel a bit narrower and the heel is lower volume/much more shallow.

I'm selling the new Solutions size 40 that didn't fit me: mountainproject.com/forum/t…

Thanks, useful. Might try a 40 solution
