I have been shopping around for the perfect black boot that could be dressed up or down and I thought that I had found it.  I read a ga-zillion reviews about Miz Mooz brand because I've never owned nor tried a pair on.  Nearly 80% of the reviews I read said that they run large and that if I were to buy, to get a 1/2 size smaller... not the case.  I'm usually between a 9-9.5 depending on the shoe and if I stocking, socks or nothing at all on my feet, so I went with a 9 based on the reviews. I do have one foot that is a touch larger than the other so for one foot I could make it work but for the other, my poor toes!  And I only wore then around the house.  My suggestion is to get a shoe true to size because you can always put on another pair of socks. Other than sizing issue, they are beautiful boots! Returning boots and crossing fingers that there is a 9.5 available??!!
