OK Based on other reviews I ordered up a half size. I normally wear a 9 but I ordered a 9 1/2 in fear my toes would be squeezed. The shoe fits comfortably, but the back part is a little loose. The shoe has padding for the ball of your foot which is great do to the high arch. Over all I am very happy with the shoe and cant wait to rock these babies with a blue leather jacket that I ordered. I think I could have squeezed into a 9 and they would have stretched in time to be comfortable, but I didn't want to go threw the pain. I am posting a picture. They are true to color.
