Instinct 2.0 fit vs original

I’m about to order a new set of instincts, been running the previous version for years. 
I don’t have anywhere local to try on. I’m a size 12 shoe but run a 13 Instinct the last 5 pairs I’ve owned. The more I read the more conflicting opinions I get on the new boot sizing. My feet are wide and flat. Do I stick with the 13 or try a 12? I wear pretty thick wool riding socks. 

Thanks in advance!

I am a size 10 shoe. I had the original instincts in a 10 and they were very tight. They were ok when riding but were uncomfortable if worn for a few hours. I have the instincts 2.0 in a 10 and they fit perfectly. Supportive when riding but also comfortable when wearing all day. Hope that helps.

Thanks. I pulled the trigger on a set of 13’s. I’d rather a little big than too small. I measured my foot in cm and it was right in the middle of a 12 and 13 according to the Fox sizing chart.

Just got my boots and the 13 pretty much fits exactly like the previous model. The one place they changed the fit was in the arch area. The previous had more room and I can definately feel more pressure in that area now. Hoping they break in a little and maybe the insole support breaks down and softens up. IMG 5734 1

I bought a pair 2 yrs ago . They fit perfectly I wear Evs ankle braces and hv narrow feet.  Can you get the last model boot yet ?  The tighter arch area may b a problem for me.

Probably not an issue if you have narrow feet. My feet are super wide and have zero arch. Completely flat.
