La Sportiva Baruntse - 44.5 - $325 Shipped in lower 48

Great shape, used about 10 days total. Very low mileage on them, pretty much new!
Awesome boot for mountains or water ice. I want a half size down for ice though, no big mountains in my immediate plans.

What street size foot do you have? I've got 44.5 Spantiks that I'd sized for splitboarding. They're a bit snug for purely mountaineering trips. I'd like to find something with a smidge more room in the toe box, but worry a 45 would be more than I want. So curious how the 44.5 Baruntse run size-wise. TIA

I can't remember what I am on a measurement device, but I've had several pairs of sportiva trail runners in 44.5 and find that size fits me well. I've been using the Baruntse for water ice and could go down a half size, a little roomy for me. I 'd like to be closer to the end. If I had big mountains in my plans, I'd keep them.

Haven't tried the Spantiks, though.
