Depends on which pair of 80s, they're not consistent sizing in my experience.

I find I can go down half a size in 80s quite easily, I think its more the width than anything

I got one pair of II's and they're UK9,5 and fits like a glove. My 80s are all UK9 and fits perfect to, except the Plants and the Blue 3ways wich would maybe feel better in UK8.5. I ordered the Crooked Tongues in UK8.5 (the 9's where sold out) and they're just a little bit snug but with thinner socks totally wearable.
I would say if you're a UK11 in II's you can easily get the CT's in UK10,5! Hope this helps!
