Thanks for posting Adam. I got a pair of the Baruntse from la sportiva and found the same. I'm a 43 for normal shoes with slightly wide fit and had no wiggle room in the 44. Went the 45 and they feel a little bit long but have some wiggle room. Be interested to hear when you climb how they go as I was looking at the G2 Evo recently, my Baruntse were very warm in Bolivia but were a quite hard work as the slope steepened (they are heavy & stiff).
