I recently ordered some adizero PR’s online and i’m noticing that particularly on my right footed shoe that my feet are a little too big and it’s a little bit uncomfortable, i can run in them just fine, but i can tell i’m sort of squeezing my foot… they’re not too small a size, it’s that near my pinky toe there just doesn’t seem to be enough room so it’s kinda like my toe is pushing off of the sole.
i’ve heard that most ppl have foot slightly larger than the other so my main concern is wether or not this one particular area should stretch after the shoe breaks in, or if it is more likely that i’ll just rip right through the fabric?
any help is appreciated
thank you for your insightful views into my question mrs. brown……. NOT

I’ve tried on shoes like that, so I know what you mean. I’d advise you to return them before they look worn and get a different pair. Nike might be better, they’re my favorite.

Modern shoes don’t need to be broken in, they are ready to wear.
They will not stretch to fit your foot. If they are too tight don’t wear them you will injure your foot.
Many people get 1/2 size larger running shoes than street shoes, but it depends on the make of the shoe and your foot.
If only one foot is too large then the shoes may be bad.
Flats are for racing or doing very fast training for a short period of time.
They do not have enough cushion to protect your feet from the pounding of regular training runs.

My suggestion to you is take your tumb and press the top of your shoe. if you do not have a tumbs length from your Big Toe and the top of your shoe its too small. I have been running for 6 1/2 years i have ran XC and Track. i have been there if there are too small depending on the fabric you will rip through when running. because your pushing your foot forward. and after a while will cause your ankle pain.
so i suggest may getting a 1/2 larger
