I wear a 7.5-8. The size 7.5 is way too small/narrow and the 8 leaves me shifting weird and there's extra room. Quality of leather is awesome! But... getting into the boots is a PAIN. My calves are not huge, that's not the problem. There are durable leather tabs to squeeze your fingers into when you pull the boots on but you have to PULLLLLLLL and maneuver them on from the heel end too... Commit to wearing these puppies because they are the boots that you have to sit on the floor to get them on... and off...
