For early season I get my normal boot size. For late season I go a full size larger to allow for heavy socks and room to keep heat trapped in.
Boots that are too tight won’t hold heat as well so it’s not an issue for me in the early season as long as they are comfortable.

 

Walking around the house I can nearly feel my toes hitting the toe, but it's not necessarily uncomfortable. What sucks is that you can never really get a good idea how comfortable they will be until you are in the field and putting some miles on them. I should probably size up to a 12

 

I wear a size 12.5 shoe and a size 13 lacrosse boot was way to big. Even with heavy socks on.

 

Did you end up keeping them?

 

Hey All, I'm sure I can't be the only person who struggles with boot sizing for Muck, Lacrosse, and all other similar neoprene hunting boots. Because they do not carry half sizes, I feel like I will never get the perfect fit...I have a pair of Artic Pro muck boots in size 12, and they have always felt a little too big. Now, I am wanting to get a pair of Lacrosse Alphaburly Pro 18" boots in 800g Thinsulate for an early season boot. I ordered the size 11's in hopes they might be that perfect snug but not too snug fit, now I am debating if they are too small. Most folks will say size up because you'll be wearing thick socks, but that won't necessarily be the case for me.

I know not all feet are created equal, but I am hoping someone has some insight into what has worked best for them.

Thanks!

I've have found that both of the manufactures sizing is slightly large than "true size." You can take of some space by getting some cushion soles which typically are thicker than the factory soles. Might try this if in between sizes.
