i rented a board the other day, it was my second time wakeboarding...
the ones i used were the cwb torq with the hinge. i'm not sure what size they were
i wear a 12 also and it was kinda snug, not too much where my foot would tingle though. but i'm sure a 13 would not fit. i'm sure the guy said it was a xs/med but that is listed on their site as a size 5-8 and i know i did not fit my fred flinstone feet in a size8. so they must have been a L/XL 9-12. the guy also put the bindings on with the left foot @ -10 deg and the right foot at -5 degs. (toes pointing towards eachother)
so i'm not sure what size they were but i would put money on the L/XL.
sorry for the long random post Smile

I'm a size 13 but my foot is a bit narrow. Not so narrow that I require narrow shoes but narrow enough that my favorite shoe is the K-Swiss Classic (or as my wife calls it, the Sideshow Bob Shoe). I've always worn XLs because I've never noticed much of a difference between XLs and XXLs in any of the bindings I've ever tried out. Since XLs are easier to come by and easier to get a deal on, that's what I ride with. Unless you have an exceptionally wide 12, I'd wager you'll do fine with XLs.

EDER, Hey man i have a wide foot and wear a 12. But, i like XL's better. I think the tighter my binding is the better feel i have. I ride XXL's now but am changing soon! Cheers.

Im a 11-13 depending on the brand and I wear XL Alphas and they work great. Ive never tried XXL bindings so I dont know if theyd work better...

I have the 05 Murray XXL bindings and they fit my size 14 feet perfectly. I learned how to board on my buddy's 04 Temet with XL Temet bindings. I was able to get into his bindings okay with soap of course, but getting out was much more difficult than with my XXLs. I still need a tid-bit of soap to get into my XXLs, but they can be tightened as snug as I want them.

I also have narrow feet but I adjusted my bindings' overlay by unscrewing the plastic piece on the side, and moving each overlay down by one screw hole. Doing this really helped out a LOT.

Good luck to ya,
Rick

i have size 15 and fit in pair of Large alphas without soap. You just have to work the bindings in because i have a brandnew pair of xxl alphas and i can barely get in without soap.

EDER, i'd say you should be okay with just XLs but then again it depends on the bindings
