I figured the best people to ask would be women. I am a guy with narrow feet and narrow heels. I love the anasazi velcro, but have always hated the way the heel was so mushy. I am considering the women's anasazi velcro, but I'm not sure about sizing. I know that many women have had to wear mens climbing shoes due to the lack of variety in the women specific models. My normal anasazi velcro size in mens is 9 and I size them pretty darn tight. What would be a comparable size in the women's model, if there is any difference at all (are the ladies shoes sized in men's sizes?)? thanks. JB

When I was searching for a new pair of shoes I tried on the women's Anasazi at REI because they were closing out their stock of them and they were going for 99. I tried on a size 9, which is my street shoe size, and it was just a bit too small, so a half size up from my street shoe size would have been perfect, only reason I didn't get them is because they were out of 9.5 and since they were no longer going to be stocking them they couldn't order me a pair. Depending just how crazy tight you want your shoe, going street size might work for you. I've seen two different men-women sizing charts, but most sizing charts say that there's a 1 full size difference between men and women's shoes, so if you go with your street shoe size that would be one full step down, a half step above would be a half-step down, and then a full step about your street shoe size would be your street size.

My men's Anasazis are a 5 and the equivalent in the women's for me would be a 6 (I got 5.5 cuz I wanted a tighter fit).
So, however the math works out for you I'd guess one whole size larger than what you take in the men's version if you want a similar fit.

If you like the anasazi's a bunch you have a few options... I hear the lace ups are skinnier in the toe and a bit in the heel, compared to the velcros. Also... socks.
But if you want to try a new pair of velcros, I have a blatant shill right here, size 9 and all:
