I wear a size 9.5 and purchased a 10. There are two issues with these: First, where the tongue is sewed to the boot leather-near the bottom lace hole is too small/narrow. I have a reasonably high arch and the stitched material across the top of my foot was very tight and uncomfortable. It did not have to be done so tight. Also, I put these on with no socks and the 10 was just big enough. I would go with a full size larger; to 10.5 if you are a 9.5.

I do like the leather upper, and the sole seems OK, but the foam lip where you put your foot into seems a bit cheap and I wonder how long it will last. Scrutinizing the overall construction makes me feel these boots are a bit overpriced. I am going to return these and probably spend another $20 and purchase something that shows a bit more longevity. I will probably buy from a retail store. I know, right. :-)
