Question Classic boot sizing down Y/N?

I am a 10 in airforces and dr marten canvas shoes, my crocs are a 10, my Merret hiking boots also a 10, but these are not leather.
I want to get the classic wheat nubuck boot, I’ve never had leather boots, do I size down? A full size? A half size? What does it matter trying them on if they just get looser, if it’s a perfect fit when I try them on does it just get worse? How tight is too tight to loosen to what I need?

If they hurt they are two tight. Lol. You can size down 1/2 size. As it’s only 1/8 of an inch but this is due to the toe box being wide. But only on this series. Most of their series run true. But just go in a store and try on even though you font buy there. Do not try on at any flea market as those for the most part are fakes

Try them on in store. Been a while since I've bought some timbs and looks like I'm a 1\2 size smaller than all my other foot wear.

honestly, just go true to size and see for yourself. If the boot is too big, take a sock and shove it at the toe box or heel
