They run big, not sure if a 12 would do ya, but they are definitely large in their sizing.

I can honestly say that not a single homosexual was harmed to manufacture my boots. They are made of suede though.

Hahahahahahahahahaha! I often wonder how many Naugas are killed to make one Nauga hide piece of luggage!

Yes they do Look bad but they are great for climbing and super comfy. Try a pair and you will agree. Costing $109 i have not found anything better Costing twice as much. They come in a 13 thats what i use.

Size 47/US 13 are now up on the website!
been wearing scarpa's for a little over 2 yrs.. just ordered some arbpro's from treegear a week ago. gonna send the scarpa's to be re-soled. if the arbpro's last as long as the scarpa's i won't need another pair of boot's for a while. by the way, why have a spike boot and a footlock boot when you can have one that does both.
What I would do for a pair of Asolo fugitives in a narrow 9.5..

Merrell Chameleon. Sort of "shoe" like but with ankle coverage. And lightweight to boot. (pun intended)
try the perimeter by merrell not as stiff as I would like for removals But hold a line great for footlocking and overall traction

OK I just read this thread, there are alot of great suggestions here. I have a Merrell/Asolo kind of rotation going on, but I sure would like to try the Pfanner chainsaw protective boots, anybody own these and have good or bad feedback?
Is there any narrow footed climbers out there?
Nothing worse than when you tighten the boot to where its comfortable and its maxed out on tightness.

Thats how the Fugitives fit and I was sure after break in they would be sloppy

For what it’s worth ………….
I have a new pair of Pfanner chainsaw boots that I just start wearing.
I bought them for ground work, not climbing.
They are quite stiff.
(That’s sort of expected; a slipper is not going to offer much protection.)
I’ve started wearing them on my 4 – 8 mile daily walk to try to break them in (somewhat). They are never going to be lightweight hiking boots.
The toe area is a little “boxy” / loose for me; but that’s the nature of safety boots on my feet.
They lace well down toward the toe, but the upper material(s) are so stiff that I can’t tighten the laces any more, at this point.
The ankle coverage, and support, is quite high. It is a good 2” higher than my normal climbing boot. I think this is a good thing.
I recently saw a demo of chainsaw claps. The saw, at full power, was dropped a few inches (under control) onto the chaps, which were covering a horizontal log. The saw did not penetrate the chaps, but the chain “ran down the leg area”, past the bottom end, where the ankle would have been.
The lugged sole is reasonably soft rubber and I expect a good grip.
(I’ve worn then on a snowy / slightly icy roadway, and they were fine.)
I would buy them again at this point to protect my feet. But they are still brand new.
Ciao ! Greg

I have pair of the Arbpro boots and like them a lot. Just like any new boot they required some break in but so far I find them to be quite comfortable and functional. I did however, put in a pair of green "Superfeet" insoles, which incidentally I wear in almost all of my outdoor boots, and this really made a difference for me in the way they fit my foot. Just a comment on width. I have a narrow foot; I usually wear a "B" width shoe and most outdoor boots are a "C" or "D". There was plenty of room in the Arbpro boots so I would not consider them to be narrow by design. However, by inserting the Superfeet insoles it took up some of the room and I find that this helped a lot.
