I have these in ivory and loved them so much I purchased them in black. I’m a true 7 but wear a 7.5 in boots. I listened to the advice of sizing up. My ivory boots are a size 8 and are a bit too big. I got a 7 in the black, and while a little snug they have already stretched out some after one wear. So I wear thick socks with my 8s and thin with my 7s. I’d say my black ones fit better so the advice of sizing up might work for some but did not for me. Either way, these boots are beautiful and are very comfortable.
