Your best bet would be to go to your local Cycle gear or similar store and try a few on. They can vary depending on the brand. Even if you purchase them somewhere else atleast you'll have the peace of mind that they will fit! Good Luck!

in  my experience they run about a size smaller. For example my size is an 11 but the boots have to be a 12 to fit me. I have seen this with thor and oneal boots. The best bet is to try them on at a local shop.

I normally wear 12's but in riden boots 13's I just got some axo slammers I love them no break in period they probably are'nt the best for jumping due to less ankle support , but for trail riding hitting small jumps (like off the side of berms) or hill climbing their great .easy to walk in as well.

I don't wear them but I will say one thing. If you try them on at a local shop buy them there! It's not right that they pay all that money for a building and inventory and someone comes in and tries them on then orders online for cheaper. Also if you find they aren't right after using them you may be able to exchange for a size.

I like Alpinestars and MSR for bikes. I prefer the Oneal ATV boot for trail ridding. As with any shoe; brand and cost is secound to comfort.
MSR and Oneal boots: 1/2 size above your shoe size should do it.
Alpinestars, at least my last pair, go down 1/2 size. (9 1/2 shoe= 9 boot)
