I usually wear a 9 and I ordered a 9.5 to give me extra room for wool socks and an insert if needed. They're not very cushioned so an insert is a good add-on. I have medium wide feet and these fit well right out of the box. No breaking in. I'm working on a major TV production in Montana and needed boots that could handle snow, cacti, dirt, rocks, cow patties, etc. I've been wearing them for a while now and I love them. No flaws or defects in the fit or make of the shoe. No blisters, no pinched toes. They're very scratched up and scuffed, but they're work boots. They can definitely handle a lot and keep going.
