I got my Mad Rock Hooker Laces a full size down. It was super painful but now that they've broken in (month later) they are outperforming my Sportiva Venoms and 5.10 Jet-7s.

If you're a beginner then go a half size down but if you want your shoe to perform AFTER its broken in then go full size. Trust me its painful just like breaking in my Venoms but its TOTALLY WORTH IT.

Whoever said tight fitting shoes have an insignificant performance gain over comfortable shoes obviously has never climbed past V3's

the last thing you want is to be limited by your shoes.
Also really put in the time to research about the specific pair through customer reviews to find out how the AVID climbers sized them. Thats what I've done for all 3 of my pairs that iv'e ordered online and its worked out well.

Good luck
