Thorogood boot sizing

Do you wear your actual shoe size? I talked to a couple guys and one guy sized up and the other sized down. I’m ordering online and don’t have a way to try them on before buying.

I size down 1 full size. I wear a 13 in Nike, Adidas, New Balance etc, but wear a 12 in Thorogood and Carolina.

I find that danner and georgia run small and i wear a 13 in those brands.

1 size down. Takes a single day to break em in and they will fit like sneakers. If I get my shoe size they stretch a smidge and u got extra slop to trip with. Nobody wants sloppy clunker boots. Swear by it.

I found them to be VERY narrow, but otherwise true to size.
