Couple of quick sizing questions

Hi all, I'm hovering over the buy button for some DHB Aereon bib shorts and some DHB M1.0 SPD shoes. I preferred the look of the Shimano M077s but they only seem to have size 38 and 39 in stock or something.
Anyway, i can't for the life of me work out whether I should get a medium or large for the bib shorts. I'm 6'0", 42" chest, 32" waist, 32" leg, athletic build. I imagine a few people on here have these very shorts and could offer some advice?
As for the shoes, I've never bought shoes in EU sizing, but I'm an UK 11/11.5 in most trainers. I'm swaying between 47 and 48... am I close?
Thanks.

If your credit card can take it buy 2 sizes & send the unwanted items back pronto, I think wiggle still do the free post return , better than buying the wrong size.0

Indeed, Wiggle do a free returns via Collect+ thing... I'll order the 47 and 48, then return one later in the week!
EDIT: the 48s are out of stock until mid May... Guess I'm getting the 47s then.
I'll go for the large bib shorts as well I think.Specialized Allez 2010

Just an update for the benefit of people searching in the future:
The medium was a little short on my legs so I went for the large and it's perfect - not too big at all which I thought it might be. As for the shoes, it turns out the a 47 was perfect, and I'm typically a size 11 in trainers. A 48 would have been too big. The DHBs are really comfy and the cleats are really easy to attach - highly recommended all round.
And just to add, I've been playing with my shoes + pedals in my living room and I absolutely cannot wait for tomorrow morning to try them out on the road! They feel like an amazing step up from flat pedals!Specialized Allez 2010
