I wear a size 8 and these fit true to size. They're also extremely comfortable. I wore them to a drag queen convention and was able to stomp around on the convention center floor for hours in total comfort. I walked more than 10,000 steps in one day and these were comfortable and stylish. I also received a TON of compliments on these shoes. If you enjoy Converse for their comfort, step up your game and purchase these trendy pair. They're fantastic.  The color is a dark navy blue.. not black.. but they still pair with lots of items
