Great shoe.  Typically am between a 9.5 and 10, depending on the shoe brand, and went with my typical 9.5 size for Clarks (I find their sizing pretty consistent).  This shoe is stylish and has some of the vintage/menswear details that are trending now, but are also timeless.  This shoe is COMFORTABLE! Nicely padded sole feels almost like slippers when you first put them on, and the height and stability of the heel keeps them comfy even after hours of wear.  The leather is great - rich cognac color that looks great with skirts & tights, pants, and jeans.  Highly recommend.  PS - if you want to see in action, recommend checking out Zappos - they've got a great video option so see what shoes look like in person.  Found cheapest prices on Amazon, though.
