bouldering shoes 15-Feb-2010 At 2:01:07 PM snydas22

the sizing with bufo is odd, they aren't actually to scale sizes, like a 42 climbing shoe is actually a 39 or 40, they have sized there shoes so you can buy the same size as your sand shoe but still get that couple of sizes smaller fit that you want as a climber. i wear a pair of 43 bufo shoes but my la sportiva solution is a 41 and my running shoe is a 43 so if you can understand it, sorry its hard to explain what the guys have told me on the phone.
Also the bufo shoes dont actually stretch but they do conform to your foot, so rather than your shoe getting bigger it actually just fits more snug/comfy. Kind of like how a thong conforms to your foot.
hope this helps
