The shoes are true to size. I would probably size up 1 size if you wanted to wear neo socks. I like the extra support compared to a lite neo watershoe.

These shoes are the best. Good traction, fit, and quick drying. I normally wear a size 10.5 or 11 depending on type and brand of shoe. I wear a size 11 over my drysuit and mid weight sox. I'd go 11.5 if I went with heavyweight sox.

Comfortable - definitely recommend a half size up if you're planning to have water socks/dry suit inside of them.
