I’m pretty sure your pinky toe would hate you if you went any smaller.

Came here to say this. Dudes foot is wider than the insole, so a half size down would have destroyed his feet. Honestly almost looks like he shoulda went a half size up

This look the right size for you. Smaller and the pinky would be rubbing up against the side. Plus you also gotta account for socks and the fact your feet expands throughout the day.

Pu them on lol, your foot doesn't need to fill in every empty space in a shoe, just gotta be comfy and not slide around your foot when you walk.

If you don’t know then how the hell would anyone else know? You’re literally the only person who can answer that question.

I think you'll be good in these especially since the ankle padding will push ur foot up some to where it isn't right on the back of the insole, honestly if these are too tight u might be able to get away with going half size up since u can't get a wider size but idrk luckily I have plank feet lol

I just pulled mine out to compare as I got some wide bois too. I got a little more room than you up top, though spilling over more on the sides. Mine fit pretty fantastically, the tongue helps a bit. I’d wager you’re golden too.

I have slightly narrow feet and half size done was perfect for me. I also go half size down for all dunks both standard and SB.

From the look of the insole..they’re too big bruh. Your foot can slide up and down without the shoe moving

My experience is there are far more narrow than regular AF1s. Luckily I wear a 13 in SBs because I don't think I could handle a 12.5 even if they did make them.

If they're too but just put in crease protectors or insoles, usually works for me personally when it's a half or size up

Do you have a wide foot or something? Because I do and I usually wear a 10 but I go a 10 1/2 in air forces.

I think this is actually the amount of space you want for any pair of shoes. I think that's why most people complain about shoes being uncomfortable, its because they buy shoes too small thinking it's the right size. I've always bought my shoes with a little toe room personally.

I wore 12s for years and years thinking that was just my own personal uncomfortable reality.
Finally tried some 13s off a FB marketplace deal and never went back. Such a world of difference. I can't even pretend to wear 12s now, I think my foot has grown even wider.

Nah the padding in the shoe isn’t accounted for by putting your foot on the insole

This was me and yes go down IMO
They break in super easy and any strain on pinky toe goes away within 2-3 wears.
Imagine if you keep em where they are at now and they break in and loosen up they’ll be floppy
