I wear a 13 normally, and need a 47 Bont shoe. According to their chart that's a 14 US. With a 46 my toes are pushing at the front of the toe box. Bike shoe manufacturers are all over the place with sizing, it's silly. The only other industry that comes close to the silliness of trying to buy cycling shoes based on actual size is Nordic skiing.
