      Having chatted to osb I am looking to size down one - does this dovetail with other owners? ( just being paranoid )

        Assume you're going sockless?  And this is down from your athletic shoe size?

              Have you ever been sized on a Brannock device?  Best thing that's happened to me re: shoe ordering.

                  I think general consensus is to size down 1/2 hectic. But even after downsizing 1 on my navy blue Oxfords, they fit excellent…

                        just thought this might be hurtful & inconsiderate to a certain sasquatch. sooooo, if egos are bruised i'll take it down. . .

                                  My advice again would be get George to make you a US12.5 or as Seul said go with a US12 if he won't. These things stretch a lot. Just my two pennies…

                                    normally i would say don't stress it, but i can see your issue with these because they are made to order.

                                    have faith my freakishly large footed friend & maybe get on the hunt for a retailer with a "Brannock device" as mentioned by nameness & get measured proper like.  once you have that info in toe (hehehehhehe) pass it along to the powers that be & see what is then suggested.

                                    or if you just don't have the time in you schedule, do like the freaks above me said

                                      Ta L, splitting the difference with a 12.5 feels sensible.
