Sooo my street shoe size is a 5.5. Size 6 pleasers are too big for me, even with full-foot adhesive inserts. After a few minutes of walking around in 6s, I get crazy spider toes. Size 5 is just the right size when I put them on, but I still need ball of foot inserts to keep my feet from sliding forward and over the edge. However, I don't end up with significant room at the back in size 5s. They're nice and snug on my feet and otherwise comfortable until my toes are hanging over the front. By the first hour, my toes are slightly over the edge of the front of the shoes (yes, even with inserts). By the end of an 8 hour shift, they're significantly over the edge, making it hard to dance let alone walk. It's incredibly painful, and yes, they are broken in and I sometimes hit them with a blow dryer to soften them up, although that seems to only make the slipping forward issue worse. I'm pretty sure it's because my feet are narrow af and would slip over the edge even if the length was too small, if that makes sense.
Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, are there alternatives to pleasers that fit you better? I don't want leather or fabric uppers, only clear please. Thanks!
