If you wear size 11 shoes, and you are wearing 11.5 boots then you screwed up.  Those are too big and when they get packed out you will discover that quickly.  Shoes are meant to have that extra space because of how the foot pivots while walking/running.  A boot is supposed to always be on lock down,    so it isn't supposed to have that extra room.  Yours boots are too big.

except they arent too big, theyres absouluety no space at all in front of my toe. OP i saw ur other thread and ur basically the same weight, and foot size as me so i would go for 11.5 or 11 size boot.

Take the liner out and do a shell fit test as that will give you a more accurate measurement.  They might feel really snug right now, but when the liner packs out I bet it's gonna be a different story.  I have never really seen anyone wear the same shoe/boot size.  Do you wear your shoes really tight or something?  You usually scale down about 1-2 sizes from your shoe size for a superb fit.  I still think your boots are too big and you don't realize it.

That sounds more like your instep is too high for the boot, not about the length.  It's probably really snug because it's squishing your foot because of the wrong width/other dimensions and you compensated by going bigger in size.  Full tilts probably weren't the boot for you.

  just did the shell test as shown in the sticky, and it passes. also if the liner does expand, it would be even more comfortable for me because my toes are a little tight.  u need to lay off the weed my friend,

Try the boots without liners.
Suppose to have at least one finger space between your feet and plastic shell.
Also Fulltilt are narrow-to medium fit. This is important.

Chart shoud be on Fulttilt ski co.
Mine:
Boot sole: 310mm, mondo 27. US9
318mm mondo 28: US10
