Well lads, I'm on the hunt for a new pair of shoes. Evolv Shaymen, Scarpa Instinct, etc. Turn downs are the game plan but no where seems to have sizes about 43EU, ideally of need a 46.

Now I can get a pair of La Sportiva Katanas in a bigger size but they don't offer the same level of stiffness or the grippy rubber for edging like so many gym routes are demanding these days.

Anyone else find this problem?
I'm reluctant to buy online because obviously I'd like to climb in them before I buy and I just like to support local.
I'd feel terrible if someone ordered a pair in for me and the size wasn't right/they didn't suit me.

Why is it such a pain?
