Love the shoes but I wear a 12 in the mens and thought I'd better go with the 11 1/2 just to be on the safe side because I ordered some all black chucks and I felt like I had my dad's shoes lol. but 11 would be perfect, not 11 1/2? If I didn't need the shoes ASAP I would send them back for a different size because the shoes are good as well.
