Hello,
I'm new to this forum. I recently purchased a new pair of running shoes, but I noticed my toe kind of sticks out. It doesn't feel uncomfortable at all, these shoes are actually very comfortable, but I do think it's odd that I can see my toe. I'm adding a couple links to pics I took of what it looks like. Do you think I should try a different size or should I be okay?
I'm not sure why seeing your toe matters. That could be because the shoe is constructed of slightly transparent mesh. What's important is how they fit and feel.
Two general rules:
1. When buying running shoes, buy 1/2 size larger than street shoes.
2. There should be about the length of your thumbnail between the end of your toe and the end of the shoe (tested while standing, not sitting).
If a slew of people contradict or even vilify me for these simple rules and that surprises you, then, yes, you are new to this forum.
Thank you so much for your feedback! Those are really good tips. It didn’t really matter at first because the shoes felt comfortable, but then my wife pointed out that it was kind of weird and maybe the show was too narrow for me, but It just feels fine to me. I guess I’ll go for a run and test them for a couple days and see how they do. Thanks again!
You need a half size longer. This is why you should go to a running store
possibly even 1 full size larger.
Also, the toe box seems too narrow for the foot in the picture.
possibly this is a foot that needs a 4e width.
I would go the the running warehouse site. It has the toe box volume, heel width, and forefoot width listed for each shoe.
This shoe probably has a low toe box volume.
I agree, prob need to move up at ;east a half size. I just went through the same thing after wearing a half size smaller. I can wear both and run in both, but with feet swelling on longer runs, I'm going for the bigger size now.
So so Runners World...

1. Sometimes - my feet almost always fit the same size in runners and street shoes
2. Yes, this is a tried and true way of getting a shoe that fits well.
Those look like the correct size . don't buy too large . Modern shoes are made to fit snug .
