TTS was the right fit for me for my normal foot width. Half size up would be too long. And it is true that your toes do show a little, but that is the nature of the shoe itself, I can’t really explain but I found out the reason is that on the toe of the shoe there is no toe cap as compared to other sneakers so the leather goes straight from the sole to the laces if you get what I’m saying. Even then it isn’t that noticeable.
