I thought I heeded all the comments I read about a "tight toe" area by ordering a half size larger than I normally wear.  I assumed the toe area would be larger, and being a slingback shoe with an elastic band, I didn't think the size difference would be significant.  Well, the band was slipping off the back of my heels and the toe area felt so tight (and I have a narrow foot), so I couldn't tolerate wearing them.  It was actually the depth of the toe area and not the width that was too snug.  I just packaged them up to be returned.  I love the shoe style by Easy Street, but I'm not sure what size I would have needed for comfort if a larger shoe still had a tight toe area.
