HollySHi HollyS! That's awesome -- thanks for your interest on this drop. A size 8 1/2 womens equals to roughly about a size 7 mens. That being said, these run small and we suggest sizing up half a size, which would make you a size 7 1/2. The smallest size we offer is a size 8. If you are more between sizes (let's say 8 1/2 and 9 in womens) they may fit and be worth it.
