I take a UK size 11. My experience of buying in the states is that their size 12 is equal to our 11.

dam the majority of the web sites say a 11 = 11.5 us now i really dont know what size to get!
Depends on the shape of your feet.
US sizes are generally shorter and wider than UK ones, hence most people needing to go up a size (or a 1/2 size).
Personally, I have short, wide feet (for my height) and consequently have to buy UK shoes that are too long in order to get the width right.
As a result, I find US shoes a better fit and usually take roughly the same "size" (numerically) as I would in the UK.
Just checked my current footwear (Merrells - but even they vary from style to style) and they're marked as US 10.5, UK 10. They're the right length for me, though, so I'd guess the length is actually nearer to a UK 9.

It says

UK 11
EUR 45.5
dam just as the last post said 11.5!! anyone wearing salomon shoes today as thats what i'm getting?!!
Get the 12's. You can always get some insoles or wear thicker socks to make them more snug if necessary.
Whereas if you get the 11.5s and they don't fit, you'll have to file your feet down.
