I really love these shoes. For now own, I'm not going to go by what other reviews say about how shoes fit.  I read one before purschasing these shoes and the person said that they run small. I wear a 8 and I ordered the 9 in the white patent and they are a little big, but I have some shoe pads and they work well as far as taking up the extra space. So I would say order your regular size in these shoes. Every time I read a review about a shoe or boot being too big, I order a size up and then they are too big. With these shoes I didn't have to return them because they are not too big.  Again, these are GREAT SHOES and order whatever size you wear.
