Whats your brannock size?  I would venture to guess that if you wear a 12 in athletic shoes, you would be a 11.5 on the brannock, and thus an 11.5 in Whites.  However, its always best to trace and send them to Bakers or Whites.

Im a 10 on the Brannock, and wear a 10 in Whites.  They are roomy though, and Im guessing I could go down a half size, but then my toe would just nick the side of the boot where it rounds out and I hate that, especially when your feet swell because of heat or being on them all day.

what is a "celastic toe box" and do i need it?

@elclintor:

NO, you don´t need it…some guys do, some don´t! imo it´s just so your toe box keeps its shape instead off wearing out along with the rest of your boot!

here´s how a "standard" celastic toe box looks from the inside:

urb´s boot has a "single" celastic toe box:

and this pair has "no" celastic toe box:
new

worn

the celastic toe box option does give your toes a bit more room though (well, i guess) and if you want your toe box to still have that shape even after some months of wear, you might want to go for a "single" celastic toe box…if you like to have that "flat" look on your toe box, you might want to go without a celastic toe box! looks better imo and not that "bulky"...

[elclintor]

Thanks Rafa. That's exactly what i needed to see.

Mine have a celastic toe box as well and don't look that bulky.

I think urb's looks that way cause they are "plain to toe"!

Enjoy ya addiction!

[elclintor]

I really like the low profile look without the toe box..

[Finn666]

@Jordan23:

I think urb's looks that way cause they are "lace to toe"!
