I read some of the review that say these glove tend to run a size too small . so when I see they reference the glove size by the shoe size , I get the 10 to 12 inch , because my foot be only 10.5 . but when I put they on , the glove feel tight . I be almost debate return they to get the next size up . so yes , take they size recommendation whatever range you fit into , and go the next one up if you want to make sure they will fit nicely .
