Can anyone provide an  idea of the sizing of the Sportiva Kataki?

I have read various different sizing suggestions, and I'm thinking i'll need a 44.5 or possible 45. I'm looking to use as a limestone trad shoe 

As a guide i'm

44 in a katana velcro, fairly relaxed fit

44i n a Katana and lace up, but these are tighter

44 in a solution but these are super tight.

44.5 in the muria lace.

I'm a 44 street size with Sportiva and I've found 42 to be a good performace trad fit for the Kataki. I would probably go half a size smaller if I was using them for sport. For comparison I wear solution comps and genius's in 41.

Cheers John,

I forgot to mention my street shoe size 47 so it sounds like I've got the approx size
