Not sure what everyone in the other posts were speaking about.  I wear a size 7-1/2 and purchased the size 7 because everyone was talking about how large they were.  Not true for my purchase.  The size 7 fits fine with no socks or thin socks. Probably should have purchased the size 8. These are clearly marked as a woman's shoe inside the boot.  It is a very nice boot. Lots of complements.
