I'm not going to be able to try the fit before ordering so I would appreciate comments from Slingshot wonders on how accurate the boot sizing is. I heard they come up a little small. My feet are size 11 - should I order 11 or 12?

Many thanks... Brutto

i'd go a size bigger. i got a pair of 9s, found 'em to fit too snug. now i'll be rockin' 10s though they're pretty snug, too. i've yet to ride 'em but we'll see.

It depends on if you are going to heat mold the boots, which I would recommend because it makes them much more comfortable. If you are then I would get the 11s if you don't plan on heat molding them then you could go with the larger size, but you might end up with a little slop as the boots pack out over time.

It also depends on how tight you like your boots I like them tight and I wear an 11 shoe and wear a size 9 boot. (but I also cut the harnesses out which makes a little more room in the boot, and makes them easier to get in and out of)

If I were you I would get the 11s.

They are supposed to be really tight before you mold them. I wear a 12-13 and I ride a size 12 boot and it fits great. Also when you get them be sure to cut out the inner laces, with it out you can come out on a hard crash, if you don't want to cut them out just don't use the inner laces.

Thanks all, I really appreciate the advice. I think I'll go with the 11s. If they don't fit, I can always sand down my feet.
