I'm right there with you. I wear a size 12.5 shoe most of the time, though depending on the shoe brand I can be a 12 or a 13 (I fit perfectly in a size 11 from one brand!). I've worn both L and XL Lewis hose and both fit ok.
But I'd recommend going larger if there is any doubt. Over time my L hose are starting to fit just a bit snugly, while my XL still fit fine. Though these hose are machine washable and don't really shrink if you take care of them properly, they will shrink just a tad bit over time with repeated washings, and if you are a borderline size that minor bit of shrinking will become noticeable if the hose were on the smallish side to begin with. So when it doubt, go larger not smaller.
All the size information on our web site is US sizing, by the way, as that is where we are based and where over 95% of our customers are.
