I wear a size 8 and ordered an 8. They're a teensy bit loose all around but it's not a dealbreaker if I'm wearing tights or socks. If there were a such thing as quarter sizes, I'd order a quarter size down... they're not quite big enough to warrant getting a half size lower. They look and feel just like Toms but with a somewhat thicker fabric, and came with an extra pair of insoles to replace old ones so I feel like these will last a good long time! Usually canvas shoes in the style of Toms are goofy looking or flimsy but I'd say these are a pretty fabulous substitute, and for a good cost.
