how do people size on the 3141 chukka?

i wear a US 12 in most sneakers, a US 11 in clarks and ordered these in a US 11. i was worried they would be too small, but if anything they seem too lose.

i can return them fairly easily, but ordering a 10.5 and trying them on (and sending them back if they were too small) would be an expensive headache due to living in australia (no one stocks the chukka here).

Been a long time since I posted in this thread....

I've not worn boots much for the past 3 years or so, but I was up in the attic the other day and found all my boots (up there since we moved house). Here are my first pair of Alden #8 cordovan plain toes, after a quick trip to the cobbler for a bit of restitching on the uppers, a new section of welt which had given way, and new Dainite soles (I was never crazy about the original commando soles, and they'd worn through to leather):

the white is just some excess fat in the leather, I think. It rubs right off. I'd forgotten how lovely the ripply creases are in cordovan. They'll be getting a lot of wear again I think!

I'm between a 10 and 10.5 Brannock ... these oxfords are a size 10 and they're a bit loose on me

I put them up for sale in the Supermarket today:

For a minute I thought those were Santa Rosas'.  They look great though.

PF Flyers came out with some new sneakers that look a lot like the Superdenim exclusive ones from a few years back. Obviously not the same quality but not bad for $70.(free shipping at Zappos)

Pretty foul that the "All American Hi" is not in fact made in the US.
