I ordered these shoes in an 8.5 (I consistently wear a size 8) after reading reviews of the sizing on another website, and I'm certainly glad I ordered up. The 8.5 fit perfect - perhaps even a little tight, so I'm not sure I'll be able to wear thick winter socks with them. These shoes are super cute though, and very comfy. I haven't had the chance to wear them out yet, but in wearing them around the house I was more than happy with how comfortable they are. I am usually a flats girl so I am extra pleased they are comfortable. I can't wait to wear them out soon.
