Got it from the per-brand sizing charts at www.skates.com... they show the 
Salomons and RBs running spot on, with K2 running 1/2 size larger.

I'm long and narrow, but what you said about the width factor holds for me 
too... in narrower boots I need a 13, if the last/sole width is D+, then I 
do OK with a 12.5.  OTOH, the K2 Catalyst seems extra narrow, especially in 
the heel, so even in a 13 my toes are touching until I get my heel "kicked 
back" and laced down tight, then they're poy-fect! ;')

Thanks, you guys have been through a lot more pairs than I have.
