Thorogood

Need sizing advice on Thorogood shoes… I am going to order my mother these: Thorogood Women's Code 3 Hi Top Shoes http://www.mypostaluniforms.com/product/N1026466.htm?utm_source=googleps&utm_medium=GPS&utm_campaign=GMerchants&gclid=CIqd8YPl0MACFWho7AodjFMAOQ
On the website (http://www.theunionbootpro.com/policies.cfm) it says "Thorogood MADE IN USA footwear tends to feel more generous as far as size goes when compared to imported footwear styles. Please keep that in mind when ordering. You may want to order a 1/2 size smaller than imported athletic style work shoes."
So if my mother wears 8.5 in most shoes than should she size down and get 8? Anyone else here size down .5 from their athletic shoe size?
Thanks -
@Andreas1965 wonderful boots

I was quite surprised with the quality of these; they are really top notch sneakers with nice thick almost boot-like leather, sculpted fit, good support, and a Vibram sole. Much better quality than Air Jordans.

It's no secret I am a fan of thorogood and it's no secret I am a fan of chelsea/Romeo boots. The Wood and Stream classics series seems to be their answer the red wing beckman stuff. At more than $100 less I figured I'd give em a try.
Horween leather. Vibram Roccia sole. Leather covered cushioned footbed. Scotchguard also. A great silhouette, and it's a pretty light weight boot.
Initial critiques…
The elastic side gores aren't as heavy duty as the red wing equivalent of this boot or a pair of blundstones. I'm interested so see how well they last.Sizing wise I could have gone up a half size and been fine. I got a 9.5 and these seem on the tight side but hopefully they'll stretch. They gave my heels some gnarly blisters today. Hopefully that ends after the break in period.
I got these from the union boot pro and there was an instant 30% off code so they were $154 with free shipping.
Overall I dig em.

That last pic may just push me over the edge. They look really great. Been wanted a pair of chelsea boots for a while.

I definitely like these more than my red wing chelseas.

Does anyone own a pair of the insulated wedge boots? There are fantastic, really warm winter boots for the terrible climate where I live (Toronto). However they have some weird silicon treatment and apparently can only be treated with nikwax? Nikwax waterproofs but doesn't have any pigment and I think that after two hard winters, these boots could do with some oil that will restore colour in the scuffs. I'm wondering if I can use mink oil (which is what I use on my thorogood mocs)….
