I normally wear a size 7, when i first purchased these, I did so in a size 7, I had to return them for a size 8.  I can fit in the size 8 nicely with socks.  they are very comfortable and I do really like them.  My only complaint is that the woolie lining on the right shoe has worn down on the part that presses against the back of my ankle, and it is digging a little.  when you buy them check and make sure that the lining that comes out and over the back of the shoe is equal on both shoes, as mine wasn't and now it is a little uncomfortable after wearing for long period of time.  I do really like them, all though they may be a little over priced.
