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.
