For those who have worn them, how much stretch did you get. They're not leather but feel like the softest shoe I've ever touched. Reviews said they're sized big and most reviewers said they got 1.5 to 2 whole sizes below street shoe. I'm a 10 street with Morton's toe and ordered 9. I feel like I should go to a 9.5 but don't want to over do it. My toes are definitely not liking the 9 though.
Edit to add: my big toe just touches with a small knuckle up. My 2nd and 3rd toes are the ones screaming.
I'm street shoe size 9 with Morton's toe, size 7.5 in their downturned shoes (Oasi and Tarifa) and 8 in the non (Ra and Tatanka). Generally I find they stretch ~1/4 of a size, but the Tarifas are a bit unusual because their profile favors narrower feet and they hurt the sides of my feet before the toes. In your case, perhaps the tarifas are too asymmetrical for your morton's toe?
I have fairly narrow feet and my tarifas are a 9 that have probably stretched 1/4 to 1/8 of a size in the 5 years and multiple resoles they’ve gone through.
Thanks. I'll go up another half size. If that doesn't work I'll probably move on in my quest of a good smearing and edging shoe that fits my weird feet.
I would say keep searching. In my experience with the Tarifa I was hoping to get the best of both worlds with smearing and edging but the shoe seemed to sort of suck at both. I personally felt very unconfident on edges with this shoe and I think it was a bit better at smearing. Overall though it was not durable at all and really just was a disappointment. Can’t really help ya on the sizing issue you’re having ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so I apologize for that! However; if you’re still looking for a good all around shoe (based on last comment) I say go scarpa Instinct easily the best of both worlds there.
