Just got these and tried them on with bare feet and they were so comfortable.  With socks they fit great and were not too tight.  Great tread and I think they will be perfect for a New Jersey winter!  I am a 6.5-7 shoe and I got these in the size 7.  I hesitated a little on keeping them because I thought maybe a 7.5 would be better.  If I lived back in Minnesota and had to wear thick wool socks, I would have bought the 7.5.
