My shoe size varies between 7 and 8 depending on the manufacturer; I usually get Clark's and Born in 7, for reference. I ordered these in a 7.5 based on reviews here. I was hoping to wear them without socks to take advantage of the fleece lining, but they are slightly too large for that so I am wearing them with thin merino wool socks. So far I am loving these boots. They are extremely comfortable. They're really heavy, and they have a nice sole for not slipping. I've worn them in drizzle and they still look the same as beforehand. I've only worn them twice so far, but one of those times was all day at work.
