Made in China?

[T.Rex]

I want to order a pair of Nike shoes from Aliexpress (which is not original, of course). My question is when a Chinese shoe manufacturer tags (for example) 8 US, does it mean it's true to size or should I go for one size bigger?

From what I've seen, shoes as well as other clothing made in China or any other country in the Far East, can vary greatly from the standard US sizes. The only way to ever know for sure what you're getting size wise from China or any other country is to try the shoes on. I've seen differences in the exact same shoe size and model in the same store! It just depends on the person who made that pair of shoes that day. This is what you get when things are made by hand by individuals instead of a machine set up to make identical products all day long.
