I wear a 7 1/2 and purchased a size 7 of the EMU Bronte Lo.  The fit is just right.  This is of course a very comfortable pair of footwear as so many reviews have stated.  I would also like to add that these shoes seem to do my aching a feet a world of good.  After a strenuous 2-week holiday where I did a LOT of walking and hiking, I returned home with feet that just ached intermittently for days.  I got these boots to wear around the house for the cold months, but I resorted to wearing these after near constant pain for a couple of weeks.  Lo and behold, the pain went down several notches after just a day.  I did not initially attribute this phenomenon to the Bronte boots, but after a month now of wearing the Bronte boots as soon as a twinge of the pain returned (and the pain going away soon after), I am convinced the boots are doing the trick.  I was all set to go to a foot doctor (and maybe I still will just to make sure nothing is wrong), but for now, the Bronte boots are keeping my feet happy.
