Anyone wearing 5.11 boots on a regular basis?  Did yours run true to size?  I just recieved a pair for xmas in my normal size, same size I wear in 5 other boot brands but my feet feel like thay are swimming in the 5.11s to the point Im wondering if I return for a 1/2 size down or a full size down.

I have a 10 1/5 and I swim in mine. Also keep a eye on your heel. I've had mine for a year with constant patrol use and mine are trashed. I'm going Danners from now on.

I've always bought my size with them (had two pair) but I buy the wide width and they fit good.  I don't wear them every day like someone who works patrol, and I would agree, they would probably take a beating pretty fast if you did.  I starting wearing Merrell about a year ago and they've been a great alternative to tac boots....again, if you're not working uniform duty this works, but if you are....it wouldn't

I wear anywhere from 11-12, depending on the brand. For my 5.11's, I got an 11.5, and it fits like a boot should. Best footwear I have ever worn. Period.

I wear 10.5 in boots and my 5.11 Tactical Advance Boots are 10.5 and feel great i wear them about all winter and some during the summer about 50% of the time i guess.
Mine feel great and i love them.Best combat  type boots i have had and i'm retired USAF.I know i've had the for over a year now.Holding up great for me.
I might get the new AF sage green boots at the BX clothing sales when these wear out though...about $124 no tax.

Mine have been true to size. I have three pair and they have held up well.

I wear 10E in Danner Acadias and Go Devils but wear 10.5M in Danner Strikers, and two different 5.11 boots.
Imported boots/shoes always seem to run a half size small for me.
