I ordered these boots in my usual size (7.5) and found them to be a tad generous in the toe area (close to 1/2 an inch of wiggle room for my toe).  With thick socks, these boots in black suede were PERFECT - leather is incredibly soft and flexible, low heel makes it comfortable to wear these boots all day, and for someone with chronic back pain these boots did little to aggravate my back.  Boots are also definitely sexy, versatile, and worth the money.
