I have the Spot-Bilt from last year's +POS catalog. Just get a 1/2 size bigger and you should be fine. I went from an 11 to an 11 1/2 and have had no problem since.

Bob,
I use my old Hoops shoes for the yard. They still hold a nice shine, but they don't sqeak enough for the hardwood.

I also have a wide foot and a high instep. Iused to wear spot built, but this year I tried Nautilus. I had a choice between steel toe and bno steel toe. I chose the steel toe. I've only worn them for two games, but they are real comfortable.

Regards
Phil

I tried the size I have worn for 35 years in the Spotbilt turf shoe this year. Way narrow. Tried next full size and only gained about 3/16" to 1/4" in length and width is comfortable. I really like the feel of them on the field, and they take a real good shine. Remember that many of these shoes are made outside the US and may not be consistent in sizing. Same with changes in sub-contractors. I had that experience with Honig plate pants few years ago. Had to try 3 different styles b4 finding a true 38. (Now a 36!)
