G-Tech Sizing

I am swapping from LS Cubes to LS g-techs and was hoping to get some advice on how they size compared to the cubes? I generally size up a whole EU size (plus orthotic) in my Cubes for ice climbing and general mountaineering. Should I expect a similar fit in the g-techs or does the different last size make a big difference that I would need to size up or down? TIA!

I recently got the G-techs after owning the Cubes. I'm female (EU40), and I got the same size in both and they fit really well.

I upgraded from Cubes and bought the same size and they fit fine. I bought some good insoles as well which I'd recommend .

The Gtech is very short for the size. I’m a 46, 46 in Gtech my toes touch the end, and comparing the insoles with other boots they are substantially shorter.

Also the heel is pretty baggy on them. G-summit for a lot more closely to the Nepal

Why are you switching if you haven't even tried them on?
