Several people mentioned in their reviews that the shoe runs small.  I didn't take their advice, ordered an 8 (usually wear between a 7.5 and 8), and had to return it for an 8.5.  Fortunately, they were GREAT about the exchange, no hassle, no additional charge for shipping, and I received the larger shoe within a few days.  Using them now for a theater production and the shoes look and feel great on stage.
