Length doesn't really matter for skating, it's more about the deck width. If you're going to be skating street, get a board that isn't as wide. A 7.5" wide deck should work.
I don't know how skilled you are, but I'm assuming you're just sort of starting out. Just start out doing ollies and being comfortable on your board. It took me a couple days to get an ollie actually more than an inch off the ground.
Happy skating.

Well ultimately it depends on how you like to skate.
Having said that.
DO NOT GET A 7.5
That is a childs size.
I recommend to everybody that is starting out to get an 8.
From personal experience, I prefer a 8.25-8.5 and my shoe size is 11.
But you also will need bigger trucks.

You should order a 7.5, that's what I've been skating my whole life.

It all depends on what kind of skating you prefer to do. I skate 8" decks but I have skated on 7.75, 8.25, 8.5 and 7.5, do not skate a 7.5" deck. I'd usually recommend an 8" deck as the majority of people prefer this size but it's really down to your personal preference.
