I ordered 9.5, which is my true size, but I must say my big toe feels a bit pinched from the top, although there is plenty of room length wise. Also I would describe this shoe as wide width. I would say 9.5, is really 9W (compared to other Oxfords I've worn...). They are well made, but definitely not a comfort shoe.. more like a classic regular shoe, there is barely any padding in the sole, but I do like the non slip bottom, and overall the leather is high quality and it is well made. Love the real patent leather, looks very expensive.
