Crown Northampton Sneakers: Too Big or Keep?
Hi there, recently received a pair of Crown Northampton sneakers that look awesome.
However I think they might be a smidge too big for me. Per the suggestion of their representatives, they suggested sizing up a half size on top of what they already suggest as a half size up, resulting in a full size up from my US size, to account for width.
This leaves around an inch of space from the top of my toe, around the end of my thumb in one of the pictures. I've had shoes with this amount of space in the toe box before, but they are dress shoes with narrower toe shape, so it felt less bulky than it does on these. Also worth mentioning that their sole inserts have an arch which lands slightly ahead of my Own arch, which makes sense if the shoes are larger than my natural size.
Are there any issues with this much space, and do they look too big on me? Should I return them and request a size or half size down, maybe with a wider option?
