These are amazing shoes. I wear 11.5 in most other brands of athletic shoes (Nike, Reebok, UA). I ordered them a size 11 because I've found that most steel toe cap brands (Red Wing, Lehigh, etc.) tend to be a bit larger when it comes to sizing. The shoes fit as I expected. Excellent. They are extremely comfortable. In fact, I would say these are the most comfortable steel fingers I've ever had. They really don't even feel like steel toe shoes when you wear them. I think due to the size and shape of the shoes they don't look very much like steel toe shoes. They're not as bulky as most steel fingers and I think because they have such a skater look/feel. The weight is distributed more evenly around the foot. FYI: I've transitioned from heavy construction (piping worker by trade) to medium/light work and site management and this shoe is perfect for what I do now. To be honest I'm not sure how they will stand up to the harder work. The shoes are perfect for my daily activities at work and as I said they are the most comfortable steel toe shoes I have ever had.
