I was looking to replace a pair of worn out Reeboks I had in this style (they were a size 7).  I actually saw this shoe in a shoe store but it was in a different color and a size 6.5 (while the shoes fit I wanted a little extra room).  The good thing is that allowed me to see the item or one similiar before purchasing these shoes from Amazon.  I did like this color and was able to get a size 7 which fits perfectly.  These are incredibly comfortable and I am very pleased with these shoes.  I would say these shoes fit true to size.  If you plan on wearing a thicker sock then I would suggest one size larger.  I can wear the size 7 with or without a thin sock like a sports/ankle sock.  I was not looking to wear heavy socks with these shoes and you do not need to wear socks for them to be comfortable.  I would definitely purchase this item again!
