True to size 9-1/2. I ordered a half size up (10) originally because of all the reviews saying they were too tight. Size 10 was too big and flopped on my feet which is NOT ideal for skating. Order your size. Theyre a tiny bit narrow in the toe but not unusually tight. They fit just like my old school size 9-1/2 vans. Only If you have unusually wide feet, either order a different shoe or go a half size up. These are great tough solid shoes with great shock absorbing insole and super grippy gummy outsole. And they look dope too!
