Thanks everyone for the tips. I tried on some La Sportiva shoes but they were mega painful -- just too narrow for my feet unfortunately. I know painful is expected in a more technical shoe, but you have to draw the line somewhere... by the time the Miuras are a small enough size to not have any air pockets in them, the pain in the toes is excruciating. I had the same problems with Mythos -- too pointy at the toes end. The Climbs I'm using at the moment are slightly wider in the toe, but I don't think they're all that technical, they're just too flat. The Five Tens I looked at were too damned expensive. And most of the other shoes I looked at had that "beginner" look about them -- stiff, flat lasts, etc. -- not very technical.
So I'm going with Scarpa Inferno, they're just that bit wider, and the fit is very tight, yet comfortable enough. Anyways, enough of the commentary -- time to go try them out!
