Shoe sizes: Sausalitos vs Mythos?

Shoe sizes: Sausalitos vs Mythos?

Sorry about this boring post, but I'm out of better options at the moment:

I'd like to order a pair of Red Chili Sausalitos, but no place that I can
find around here (Seattle -- please correct me if you know of a place) has
them in stock for me to try on for sizing. I thought I might ask all of you
if anyone out there happens to have a recommendation regarding sizing of
these shoes relative to other shoes. Specifically, I wear a 40.5 in Mythos
and other stretchy La Sportivas. Any ideas? Thanks for your time.

I went the other way around.  My last pair were Sausalitos size 45.5
(very snug), and I just got a pair of Mythos size 44.0.  After just a
few climbs, they've stretched to the same "snugness" as the Red
Chili's.  My suggestion is to buy them 1.5-2 sizes larger than your
Mythos'.
