well these are the manufacturers recommendations on fitting ( http://www.sportiva.com/products/sizing.php )

"Remember to factor in stretch. Unlined slip-lasted shoes tend to stretch a bit more than lined shoes -- about one full size. Lined shoes stretch about a half size." - note Katanas are lined shoes, not unlined.

"While it isn’t a black or white issue, a general rule dictates that soft shoes require a tighter fit, two to three sizes smaller than your street shoe size." - these are more than 3 sizes under street size

"Remember: a well-fit comfortable shoe will work better than an ill-fitting tighter shoe."

its pretty elitist to say that because you like super tight shoes then thats how you should recommend them. and its pretty arrogant to say that because your shoes stretched right, then anyone else who's shoes didn't stretch enough doesn't know what they're talking about. ..have you ever considered that the fit you got might actually be larger?
