help...sneaker sizing.

cjcouple

I got some new sneakers yesterday and picked up my usual size. they seemed fine yesterday. well i went to put them on but my right toe seems to be touching the front and a bit snug. my left is fine. i know they usually stretch/wear in over time so i feel like if i go a half size up, they will be too big. do you think this will cause a blister??

they do not hurt and are not uncomfortable at all but the toe is definitely right at edge. they are skechers tone ups.

thoughts??

I'm not sure about walking (I run), but if those were my shoes, I would be returning them for either a different pair of the same size (without the toe issue) or the next size up.

I would lose my toenail if I ran in those.

Do you mean Shape-ups?  If so, returned them and buy something else.

Me too. My running shoes are a full size bigger than my everyday shoes.

thanks everyone, i will go get a larger size. 

mdd...they are not the shape ups...they are tone ups. they do not have curved bottoms, they actually look regular. i only got  them because they are light and super comfortable and were on sale for forty bucks. i dont believe in magic shoes...hahaha

Even for walking shoes, you should go to your local running shop to be fitted. You can get the same injuries as a runner without properly fitted shoes.
