Hey, hey. So I picked up two pairs of Solutions, but I'm having a hard time deciding which pair I should keep. Street size, I'm a 12 US Men - maybe 12.5 in a few shoes, but definitely closer to 12. I've been climbing in a pair of Miura VS for a while, which was my first really technical pair of climbing shoes. They're size 45. Come Solution, I've tried on a size 44.5 and 44. The 44.5 is almost comfortable (my benchmark for comfort is a worn in pair of Miura VS) straight out of the box. I could imagine them stretching a little and being awesome, or a little more and being too big. On the other hand, the 44 is definitely not comfortable. I could imagine them stretching a little and being slightly too small, or a little more and being awesome. Problem is, I don't know how much they'll stretch. So, hopefully someone with the know-how can set me straight.
Thanks.

Mine always stretch just a little more than I expect.

Go with the 44. Just for reference, I'm a 10-10.5 street and my Solutions are an 8.5. They stretch a ton.

They are sized weird and they do stretch. My street shoe size is generally a 13, all my 5.10 performance shoes (V10's, Dragons, Blackwings etc) have been a 13, and my Solutions are an 11.5. So size down.
