Sheryl,
you want this shoe to fit very snug! No larger than a 43 for size 10 street shoe.

I am assuming that women can wear these shoes as well, even though they are marked as being "Men's?" Does LaSportiva sell women's specific climbing shoes or are they all gender neutral?

Yes, Women can and do wear the shoe all the time. Just make sure you purchase the right size. IMHO La Sportiva shoes run a little bigger than other brands, such as Evolv.

I believe the only major difference between the men's and women's shoe is the color pattern (yellow & black vs. baby blue and black)
