Angry Angry at Shoe Sizes!

I just received my new nike running shoes which are size 11, the ones I had before are size 11 and before that were size 11! these however are about an inch too big! I can bend the front of the trainer back lol.. This is really annoying because it just delays me and wastes my time ...

has anyone else had a similar problem?

Ahh, the joys of internet shopping!
If you try before you buy you won't have this issue. One season to the next doesn't always mean the same size sadly!

I had the same problem a couple of months ago, I went to get some new trainers, thought I would stick with New Balance since I like their shoes and found the size 12 of the new model is smaller than the 12 I currently have!
Ended up with Nikes and although they are comfy, their not my NB's

I asked for a size 12, the box says a size 12 but the stupid salesman gave me a 12 1/2

They are ok for my plodding, but as I speed up I can feel I am going to have problems and have to buy some Nike+ shoes that fit my sportsband sensor
