My suggestion would be to return them, You are going to be unhappy with them. I have issues because I have wide feet, so when I am in the store I make sure that they are wide with a lot of toe room. This article Right Size Running Shoe offers some different ideas about what to look for when buying a new pair of running shoes.

Yeah, that's probably what I was going to do, shoes felt great otherwise, just a bit too snug. Thanks for the insight.

Sounds like you need a bigger size. Your feet swell when you run, so you'll probably end up buying shoes that are 1/2 to a full size larger than your foot size.

Did you go to a dedicated running store? They'd be able to give you the best recommendation on size and fit, although you'll probably end up paying the big bucks for that advice, compared to your typical shoe store.

So yesterday I bought some new running shoes and they felt fine in store. And of course they also felt fine at home, but this Morning when I went for my run, the outer sides of my feet were hurting because they were being pressed up against the outer side of the shoes. The shoes are basically too narrow in the middle, now should I return them for a different pair / bigger size or try to break them in?
