Hi - I wear an 11.5 US in Keen which is perfect. Are the sizing between these two brands comparable? Cheers!

G'day Blake,
Both the Keen and Vasque Boots have a fairly wide fit, and both adhere to the same size chart so we'd be pretty certain you'll be the same size in the Vasque as you are in the Keen.

I have a 28 cm foot, typically wear 44 (north face hedgehog),these are snug, would you recommend a 45/46 for hiking to give enough room but not float?

G'day Paul,
I've had a chat with our shoe expert, Lisa. She said that the Vasque Eriksson GTX Men's Boot is a little wider than the North Face Hedgehog, so it might be a little roomier to start with. The size 11US (44EU) on the Vasque is 29cm long so would probably be about the right mark for your 28cm foot.
