I won't go as far to say anything about that. IME, you gotta try on shoes. I tried on 510s, shimanos, fox, etc. This is what fit.
So I've tried 3 pairs of these.

Size 46 feels the best, out of the box.

Size 45 fits, but I can feel the shoes squeezing my feet slightly.

I think I'm going to keep the 46, but just curious, did your shoes "loosen" up much?

These are a whole size bigger than the shoes I've been using for years.

I doubt it, they are a "hard boot" more like a mountaineering boot, the sole is CF and stiff as heck. I was able to use them like cramp-ons on some super steep icy hills during the iditarod. If you ever think you might want thicker liners though, they mountaineering-boot nature allows you to use a variety, the most popular being the intuition liners, and these take up more space and absolutely need a bigger size than what feels good otherwise. It's another bullet on the "get them bigger" side of things. IME, you do not even want a hint of squeezing and if you have to be looser in other areas to get there, so be it.

I was referring to the Shimano GE700 shoes :busted:

GT has a mess of discounted bikes. Who will be a vulture and swoop in and grab some bargains?

Let's jump on the Trunnion bandwagon and add a big triangle at the bottom, yay!

I don't think 50% off could get me on the GT Knolly.

EDIT- It doesn't look Knolly bad.

For $1,300 for the elite frame is crazy even if there is no real warrenty. On EBay I am seeing a used aluminum Intense M16 going for 1,200 without a shock. These sellers are out of their minds.
