I'm usually a 7, and I ordered a pair of Steve Maddens (but the only had a 7 1/2) they are a little big, but they're boots where the tops are about 4" above my ankle... so the extra room really isn't that much of a big deal. But they are a bit big. My big toe is about 1" - 1 1/4" from the tip of the boot. They're livable, but I think I would've been better with a 7. So, I guess all in all they are pretty tru to size. I would say go with your regular size, unless you think you would want them a little more roomy.
