Usually, I get the same size as my other shoes, although I've found that my Adidas run larger than my Nike shoes.

I always go up half a size, my toes need room.

No.
To the contrary, I buy shoes that will be worn casually with a sloppy-loose fit, so I can still have some airflow while I'm in them all day.
But I want athletic shoes to fit correctly. I only wear them specifically for weight bearing physical activity, then they're off my feet.

I very seldom wear socks with regular shoes, and I usually wear a 6.5. I always wear cushioned socks (balega Hidden Comfort) with running shoes, and I always size up to a 7.5. It all hinges on the socks for me. Must have toe box room or my toenails suffer; as it is, I’m currently missing one after running a marathon last December.

I go to an excellent running shoes store and get fitted. I buy the shoes that suit me and fit me best. The size usually ends up being one half to a full size bigger than my everyday shoes. So, try them on and then go by the feeling and fit. Size is irrelevant.

I have a huge Nike Outlet near me and they have some good running choices. Since I wear between a 10 & 11 I also look in the Men's section. I actually like the colors there better.
I err on the side of roomy in my toes. A fine line though, you don't want your heel slipping. I also have arch supports that go in and they need a little more room..
I ignore size and try on until I get the righ fit. BTW, I really like the bungee-type cords.

I usually wear my athletic shoes with heavier socks because I walk a couple of miles daily. I only go up one half size. I wear only Brooks because they offer narrow widths and they fit me best.

@KentuckyWoman i started wearing Brooks, too....Had to find a narrow running shoe since Asics quit making narrows. I am really liking Brooks.

I try to stick with brands I'm familiar with. I wear between sizes 6.5 and 7.0. If I wear thick socks with an athletic shoe, I'll go with 7.0. If I don't wear thick socks, I'll wear my regular size so my heel doesn't slip.
