If you are planning on using your rockshoes at altitude – size up to allow for expansion. Lace-up shoes are good for allowing your feet a little extra space. Especially if you are climbing in the cold when blood circulation is critical.
When you try on a lace-up shoe, undo the laces completely and then tighten them accordingly from toe to ankle.
