are jazz shoes supposed to be tight?

Jazz shoes should feel snug, like a leather sock. It's good to bear in mind that they do stretch; they can increase up to a whole a size bigger with wear. But they'll need to fit correctly in the first instance.

The new shoes feel tight around the toes, they rub at the heel, and they pinch with every step. ... It's the dreaded break-in period, when a new shoe rubs against tender feet, causing blisters and abrasions, until shoe and foot find a way to conform to each other in harmony.

Chukkas don't fit very snugly like a regular shoe does, particularly the two eyelet variety, but they stay on your feet just as well. You need to get used to them, and probably don't need much if anything in the way of pads.

Most of the shoes I have bought at Justfab are true to size. ... Each of the shoes have a different quality, the cheaper plastic shoes I found to run a little tighter... but then stretch overtime because they are high quality.

The size fits true to size, but the top is a bit tight. I think if I wear them more then they will stretch to be more comfortable. ... I am a size 9 in regular Nike shoes, so I bought a size 9 in these slides and they fit absolutely perfect.

Usually, you have to go up a size or two in this type of jazz slipper and want it to fit like a glove, as the leather will stretch once worn. We went up one size based on the description and other reviews saying they ran small, as most do. But they ended up being 2 to 2.5 sizes too big.

First, the shoe's length runs a little small for my liking. Personally, I like a little toe wiggle room at the top to avoid toe jamming, but these shoes were a little tight. These shoes are made to be unisex, so (men) keep that in mind when considering going true-to-size, or a half size up.

Your new boots should feel snug on your foot, with maybe a small amount of slip in the heel and room for your toes. The instep holds the boots on, so should not be too big or have excess leather above it. The ball of your foot should align with the widest part of the sole.

Don't fold or roll the tops down, because that can make them too tight. It could cause blood flow problems or cut off your circulation like a tourniquet. If your doctor told you to wear them, you'll probably want to keep them on most of the time. ... You can wear socks, slippers, and shoes over compression stockings.

The boot should be snug over the instep (top of the foot) since there are no laces, buckles, etc. Finally, there should be a slight lift in the heel when you walk (approx. ½ inch) which will subside as the sole starts to flex.

At the most “loose” or “relaxed” tightness setting, the Adapt BB still felt pretty snug on foot. Since you can really tighten up the sneaker when opting for “max” tightness, you should be good going true to size or even going up half a size.

Fitting Dansko Closed-Back Clogs Fit may be slightly snug when stepping in. Toes should not touch the front of the clog. Heel should move up and down freely as you walk.

This since the most common reason for the loafers being loose is that the foot is not held sufficiently in place over the shoe's instep, which means that the foot slides forward a bit and it gets loose around the back.

Make sure the ball of your foot fits comfortably into the widest part of the shoe. Don't buy shoes that feel too tight and expect them to stretch to fit. Your heel should fit comfortably in the shoe with a minimum amount of slipping - the shoes should not ride up and down on your heel when you walk.

At its tightest settings, the Adapt BB feels like a shoe that's aggressively hugging your foot. ... I tried on a pair that was true to size, and the shoes were uncomfortably tight, even at the loosest settings.

Crocs™ should not fit like other shoes: They should fit very loosely. The sides of your foot should not really touch the sides of the shoe. Your toes should never make contact with the front of the shoe.

Boots should feel snug in this area, but not tight. ... As you wear the boot, the sole will become more flexible and most of the slippage will disappear with time. If the instep is too loose, the boot will slip too much, which means that you need a narrower or smaller size boot.
