Boot sizing.

[pie eater pete]

Is it just me being awkward or is there anyone else annoyed with the sizes of boots? Bought a pair of Meindl Waldlaufers in a Euro 44 which equates to 9.5 in UK sizes. These crucified my feet so bought some Husky technicals in Euro 45 which is 10.5 UK. These are too loose!

No, it's not you. I never know what sizes to go for as different manufacturers seem to size their own way.

I had my feet professionally measured recently for some hiking boots and found that my feet are nearly half a size different.

The advice from this professional, should this be of interest to you, was to buy slightly on the large side and put moulded foot supports inside; ones that you remove at the end of every day to dry out!

A bit sad maybe but they do make a difference.
