For rock shoes downsize up to 2 full sizes from street shoe size. Downsizing depends on model, intended use, and personal preference. Most people will downsize ½ to 1 full size from street shoe size for their SCARPA rock shoes.
Most SCARPA footwear is based upon the Euro (Continental) size scale, where one whole Euro size equals 6.6mm. Compared to the standard US size scale, where one whole size equals 8.46mm, the Euro size scale offers smaller increments between each size, so that you can find a more precise fit.
