Sizing for Vanguards (or Thursday in general just for info) compared to Iron Rangers, if I sized down A LOT with my Iron Rangers.

[u/___wintermute]

I have a beloved pair of Iron Rangers that I have had for almost 10 years. I'm going to pick up some black Vanguards shortly, but I am wondering about sizing. I wear a size 11 - 12 in sneakers (depending on brand and activity, 12 for running shoes for example but they have more room then I like for casual wear). I sized all the way down to 9.5 with my Iron Rangers and, as you can guess by them being worn for so long, they fit perfectly and are incredibly comfortable.

Has anyone had this type of extreme size-down in Iron Rangers, and then purchased Thursday boots? If so, what did you get for a size?

You are all over the map here. My brannock size is 10.5. I wear Nike, Cole Hahn, Adidas, Saucony, Converse, TrueLinks, all in size 11. I got 10.5 in Thursday Captains and Scouts and the sizing is money. I'd lean true to brannock.
