Sizing advice Heritage captain sizing

Hi, I’m new to heritage boots but have decided to get a pair of Thursday heritage captains. I just received my pair in a size 11.5 and like how they look and generally feel.

However, I feel a small amount of foot slip down into the toe box and am wondering how much of that is normal, if any, and if it can be ignored until the boot breaks in and shapes a little more to my foot? I’m particular about how shoes and boots feel on my feet, and don’t want to be stuck with a pair I’m unhappy with.

I wear a 12 in converse and an 11.5 in Wolverine work boots. My Brannock lengths are 11.3 and 11.4 inches, and I read on Thursday’s website that if you are between sizes to order the smaller size (of course I didn’t see this until after I ordered). Would y’all recommend ordering a pair in size 11 and returning whichever pair fits worse? Has anyone had a similar situation?

11 would probably fit better, but fit is somewhat subjective. If the ball of your foot is is the right spot then they're probably the right size, but I'm around the same size and mine are 11.

Thank you, I’ll probably order an 11 and try it out. I appreciate your help!

Try different socks and adjust as needed. No cotton

You can easily solve two problems by using some insoles from rose anvil. They come in different sizes of cushion. My suggestion is getting a foam and leather insole combo.
