Alden - variations in barrie and tremont last

[dreamtripper]

From what I know the the barrie an tremont last are supposed to be similar. I have the longwings in the 9.5D which fit well, I have a plain toe Blucher in 10D which fits pretty well (a tad loose, but the 9.5D was too tight on the side of my foot), I have a split toe boot that fits well in a 9.5D and some classic cordovan wingtips in 10D (tremont last, a little loose but 9.5 D seemed tight).

Question is are all these variations normal within the same/similar lasts or when shoes feel a little tight as in the case of the 9.5D plain toe Blucher, does one just need to bite the bullet and attempt to break them in?
