As the recommendations stated, I ordered the size 8.  I normally wear 6 1/2 or 7 women size.  The 8 is a little big - so I will wear some soft thick socks.  This show runs wide - which may be why it feels too big.  The heel is oddly low cut and wide - it looks weirder than it feels actually.  I'm keeping them because I need them now and the suede bottom is awesome for turns.  At least I won't be complaining about pinched toes.
