I am almost always a size 8, fairly narrow but size up or down a half size depending on style. Most reviewers seemed to say that these fit true to size, but I wondered if that would be true for me and regret not going with instinct. I had recently tried on a paid of similar shoes by a competitor brand in size 9 and they were almost perfect, though, a little weird on the toes. Almost never sizing so far up, I went with the 8 in these. It was too tight, especially unpleasant on the toes. It wasn't the sort of discomfort I would try for long to see if they stretched. I liked the concept enough that I sent back immediately and got a 9. My toes still feel a little pinched after a few hours, but it's manageable. I really wanted these for light walking and my work as housekeeper after wearing out comfy ballet flats (yeah, classy for cleaning, lel). They are definitely great for getting a little dirty. Be careful not to get too wet, though, as they will slip from your feet! One extra funny bonus while cleaning: the bottoms have a cute flower pattern, very funny to see the prints in a shower before rinsing. Extra extra bonus: Made in the USA! I'd give these 3 stars for the first pair, but bumped up to a 4 for the second.
