In case anyone's interested (and since I didn't get any replies): My size US11 sand DBs fit about the same as my size US11 docs. The sand DBs are slightly longer and narrower, but I don't know if they'll stretch yet.

Go with black! Maybe you can pull off brown shoes and khaki pants but I surely couldn't!

They're nice shoes by the way! I have the black leather treks.

I'm too lazy to search this thread so I'm just going to ask: Where can I buy the cola colored boots outside of the UK?

They run wide, not large. If you have wide feet, they are true to size. If you have narrow feet, you can size down.
