The wider the deck = the more fun you'll have

I've never tried a real before, but I would go with the baker, or a deathwish if theres any.

great shape, extremely sturdy, nice pop, doesn't get soggy, skates sick.

basically anything from DLX is like that (real,krooked,anti hero)

I would say skate a 7.75 or a 7.8, but then again, it all comes down to personal preference. If you are considering a baker, you should consider getting a deathwish, they don't chip as fast as bakers do and they have good concave and a sick shape. Definately get one if your shop has any. I haven't skated a DLX before, but I have heard they're sick decks.

Get an 8. And your feet wont be too small, i have a friend that skates 8.25 and 8.5 and he has size 8.5 feet. Tre flips 10 sets like nothing.

Between 7.75-8.0 is good. Maybe you could get 7.8.
I wear 9.5 and ride between 7.75-8.0. Right now I'm on 7.87 habitat and it feels good.

imho, if you like medium concave shape, it feels better to have a wider deck. On a flat shape, deck size isn't as important.

i would try a 7.75 first and see how u like it. jumping straight from a 7.5 to an 8 might feel really weird and take longer to get used to.

i say either go for a 7.75 if you are really have trouble finding 7.5s and just wanna try something new or stick with the 7.5 since youve been riding them for four years

8.5

You must be joking you have to have ridiculously huge feet to skate 8.5 I won't go over 8.1 if I'm skating street

Shoe size doesnt really matter, its how the board feels. Id say go for a 7.75 or 7.81 since youve been sakting smaller decks. You can go up to the 8 if you want.

Anyone think 7.81 would be to big. my shoe size is 7.5 - 8

7.81 is prob a good size. then when ur comfortable try moving to a 8
