korkers fit

Help I am in the process of replacing my old korkers boots. I wear a 10.5 sneaker. I am not sure if I should go with an eleven or a twelve boot. When I wear the old boots (they were 12s they felt sloppy with only one pair of neoprene socks so I usually go with two but then them feel squishy. I am leaning to the 11s but am not sure. Help I am driving the people at the edge in Newport crazy! any input would be appreciated. Has it been your experience that the korkers run small or big. help!

go with the 11. My shoe size is 10 and I wear 5 mil socks and still have room with size 11 Korkers.

Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.

Don't go with the 12. I wear an 11 shoe and have the 11 boot. They fit great.

If he gets a 11.5 if they make half sizes he will be swimming in them. Like I said I'm an 11 and the 11 boots fit perfect with wiggle room. And I use boot foot waders with neoprene footings.

The old ultralight wading boot ran small, and you had to go up a size+. The current models fit more true to foot size. I went through this last year and called Korkers directly. Service was excellent.

I wear an 11 shoe. I have size 11 korker sneakers that I wear with a 2mm or 5mm wetsock depending on conditions. Last year I used the size 12 metalheads I had to wear 3 pairs of socks and they were still sloshy.
