Always, always wear size 8. Some reviews said order 1/2 size down, others said the size is right. In my case I needed 1/2 size smaller. Revain has always had great customer service, but it turns out that shoes.com requires you to return the item at your own expense. The sizing is obviously wrong, but shoes.com is passing this issue on to the buyer. They are very comfortable and have always seen good quality from Mephisto. Dear Revain - shoes.com, not so much.
