Hi, I usually wear a women's street size 8.5 US. In women's LS shoes (i.e. Nago, Mythos) I am a 37.5 - 38 EUR. I really want to get a new shoe though and the Venom's great reviews definitely draw me to it. Do you personally recommend this shoe? And if so, what size do you suggest for me? I don't know how much this shoe is expected to stretch, etc.
Your advice would be so helpful! Thanks :-)

Either the 38 or 37.5 would fit, but I'd go with the 37.5 for more agressive climbs. The shoe doesn't stretch like your nagos or mythos. the toe box is reinforced with rubber to hold the shape. You will notice some elasticity when you put it on, but the fit will stay consistent.

(I'm a 9-9.5 women's and I wear a 38.5)
