I'm relatively new to dress shoe fit, so thanks for any input.

I bought a cole haan-calhoun 10E. The length is good and i'm comfortable. Only thing is my midfoot is the widest part of my foot and makes the shoes bulge out.

I guess my question is, is that ok? It doesn't look aesthetically pleasing, at least to me.







If this shoe isn't suited for me, should i got half size up, bigger width, etc.? Thanks for any input.

Can you take a picture of your foot without shoes?

Not sure if your shoes is just too narrow or your mid foot is actually wider than your toes.

From what I can tell of the bottom picture, the shoe is too narrow, possibly even too short, for you. The bulge in the toe box does not look healthy.

Here some more without socks:







From the looks of it, it sounds like i have to maybe go half size up, or go with the EE (since this is a E)? Thanks

Since we're at this i also have AE stranded size 10.5 D.

It only slightly bulges, so wishfully i get some responses to see if this is acceptable or i should go a width wider.







I get a feeling I might need to return these depending on the response i get. Thanks again.

Still haven't seen your actual foot to see if your mid-foot is thicker than your toes.

Regardless however, those shoes would have to be returned. Unless of course you actually feel comfortable in them. It doesn't look comfortable to me from the pictures.
