Question for Sidi boot owners...

Ok,
I need some help from anyone that has Sidi boots. I got a pair of Sidi Vertigo's this past saturday in Daytona. But i'm thinking I got the wrong size. So I want the opinion of people who own Sidi's.

I wear a size 10 1/2 shoe. I tried on both the 44 and 45 in Sidi's. The 44 seemed really snug and my toes were almost against the end of the boot. I then tried the 45 and I had plenty of room in the toe area. However when I walked my heel slipped abit. I figured that would be fine since I would be riding most of the time I wore them

Well I went with the 45's. I wore them around the house for an hour and then I wore them to ride into work yesterday. On the ride home, I noticed that they were much looser then when I first got them. When walking or picking my feet up riding, I have almost an inch of play around the heel area. It's almost to the point that, i'm worried about how well they would stay on in an accident. I have the calf ratchet as tight as I can get it.

So does it sound like I need to go with the 44 and deal with them being tight till they break in? I've tried Joe Rocket boots, Alpinestars boots, Teknic boots, and they all fit me the same way.

I just wanted some opinions before I either return these or post them up for sale to order a new set. Thanks in advance.
