When you're looking for a climbing shoe that is juuuust right, go ahead and reach for the Finale - a shoe known for its reliability and sublime all-day comfort that's equally capable in the gym or at the crag. It might be known as an "entry level shoe" but with La Sportiva's LasoFlex midsole, tensioned rand, Vibram XS Edge outsole and slight downturn shape, it certainly doesn't act like one.

La Sportiva shoes are built on European half sizes which are smaller increments than US half sizes. This gives four extra sizes per size run, which gives you a better fit. More sizes = better fit.
La Sportiva recommends you fit your trad shoes one to two sizes under your street shoe size.
Remember to factor in stretch. Unlined slip-lasted shoes tend to stretch a bit more than lined shoes - about one full size. Lined shoes stretch about a half size. Remember: a well-fit comfortable shoe will work better than an ill-fitting tighter shoe.
