Scarpa Vision and Force, do they stretch?

I just got some Vision lace-ups and some Force velcros. Do either of these stretch? The Force seemed to be lined, but the Visions have some sort of synthetic white leather on the outside of the shoe.

Any help would be great.

I have had the forces for over a year now and they don't stretch much. They do break in and conform to your foot, and stretch a bit widthwise, but my toes are as curled as when I first got them

I climb in scarpa visions. Though I haven't been able to find any recently. I've gone through two pairs and they fit snug right to the end - possibly stretched a bit. the certainly got more comfortable as I broke them in. But similar to the above post my toes never got to straighten out..
I would never have changed from them if I could find somewhere to buy them in Ireland..

I have a pair of vision lace-ups and they have stretched quite a bit... but it could be due to the fact that my feet perspire out of control. Anyone else have this problem??

I own a pair of the Scarpa Visions velcro and I like them a lot and just had them resoled too. They don't stretch much at all. If you're a size 41 in La Sportiva, you're a size 41 in Scarpa's. If you'll look carefully, the Scarpa's and some of the Sportiva's are similar in certain ways. For example, the Visions are similar to the Venoms in a minute way with the vibram rubber on top of the shoes. I think the Scarpa designer used to work for Sportiva.

Hello guys I saw the tread , and there is a question I want to ask you. I'm size 10 us men in street shoes, but there are only available 41 and 43 euro sizes, what size would you recommend me to buy , will 41s be too snug or not? I talk about Scarpa Vision with laces, the model is with leather so they will stretch ,and Vision Velcro will not because they are synthetics. Thank you!

41 (US size 8) would be too tight if you wear a size 10. 43 would suffice. Whatever your size is in Sportiva, go w/ that sizing.

I have a pair of the forces, They haven't really stretched all that much, Just molded to the knuckles on my toes. Comfy shoe.
