Just putting my two cents in after reading the last 15 pages or so.
I went a full size up, not by choice, but the neighborhood Hibbett didn't have an 11.5. I wouldn't have even attempted to try on a 11. They're still narrow but I have still enough toe space and comfortable enough to wear all day casually.
I'm a true 2E in foot width so I do have Fred Flintstone feet as well lol.
Besides that, I enjoyed the first wear today. Won't circle back for any other CWs, as most I'm not super big on but overall solid shoe.
