Depends if they're suede or an artificial substitute. As a rule of thumb, suede will stretch about half a size over time and the artificial ones won't stretch at all.
If this is your first pair of shoes, buy something cheap -> midrange and go for comfort (without socks) over super tightness.
Oh, and if they feel a bit short, try tightening the laces / velcro. This can often make them feel longer and narrower.
PS This should probably be in Misc&Meaningless... :)
