I got these in an 11.5. I didn't size up at all. Hopefully they fit well. Since they are suede, do you think they will loosen up at all with some wear?

Stay, IMO unless your feet are on the wide side of standard D width. They're a little snugger which is nice, and suede can stretch a bit to accommodate. I have C/D width feet. I also wear these with thin or no socks, while chucks have light or medium socks.
