Honestly it's hard for me to even say what TTS is. Seems like it's a total crapshoot from model to model for me. I usually consider 9.5 my true size but I also have some kicks in size 9, some in 10, some in 10.5. I tried on some Tubular Xs the other day and felt like I could've gone down to 8.5 but the 9.5 & 9s felt so stiff on foot I didn't even want to bother.

But I always still go to 9.5 as my starting point and move from there. UBs in size 10 are perfect on me, probably the most comfortable sneaker I've ever worn.

It appears you're the exact size as me. I use my Nike AM 90 as my TTS and as reference, especially since 9.5 is what a majority of my shoes are anyway. The term TTS in itself is slightly ambiguous in itself. Thankfully we have people in here that help with sizing and wear similar shoes to reference. I cannot imagine buying shoes in the blind these days. Especially with Adidas. They're all over the damn map. Nike I'm a solid 9.5/10 (Huraches are an exception at a 10.5). Adidas i have stuff that are an 8.5 to 10 and could probably get away with a 10.5 in some lines if I absolutely had to.

In terms of UBs, 9.5 length wise are perfect, but snug. That said, I haven't given my "TTS" ample time to break in either. Wouldn't be the first time my opinion in sizing shifted. For the longest I was buying my FK Racers TTS because I wear Stance most of the time, but when I wore "normal" socks, I didn't like my shoe feeling like a rash guard on my foot ... like sausage about to bust out of its casing

It wasn't that extreme, but the .5 overall just felt better.  There a few things in life are certain ... death, taxes, and sizing question /did you get your shipping email on NT?.
 
I think my foot is just a bit smaller than a 9, but I consider that my true size and what I base most of my shoes on. I went TTS on ultra boosts and go TTS on racers and they both feel fine. The ultra boosts are a bit snug but loosen up and its a nice sock-like fit.
 
IMO, don't go buying a style of any sneaker without trying them on yourself. That be a generic run at the mall, or whatever, try it first and see if you like them before doing an online purchase just cuz you're riding the hype. Everyone's foot is different, forums won't help
 
I always see myself wearing the Grey wool & OG purp CW over the white ones. Am I the only one? Or what are your guys' 'Go To' with UBs
 
The greys keep getting away from me. Must be telling me to wait for the continental sole
