Im 6'-3", 285 lbs.

Looking at the Merrell Chameleon II Stretch. I found a good deal on a pair (1/2 off) but only in a size 13.

I wear 12 to a 12 1/2 mens, most companies stop 1/2 sizes after 11 1/2, what do I do? Ive never worn hiking shoes and Im not sure exactly how they should fit. I tried a different line of Merrell's in a 12 and my toe rubbed the front of the shoe with casual socks, however I never got to try a 12 in this style of Merrell.

Has anyone ever 1/2 sized up and used some sort of insole to sung the shoe up, or am I just looking for trouble with the shoe I am looking at.

Also I have read for some reason to 1/2 size up hiking shoes? Is there anything to that.

As far as the walking I will be doing, it is light trail with the family.
