Shoes: Different sizes depending on what your doing?

Hey All,

Just curious if you have different sized/width (dress) shoes depending on how much you will be on your feet that day? Most of my dress shoes are 7D, which is fine when I wore them only to work and sitting all day. However, I've noticed when I walk more than 5 blocks continuously, they get tight around the toes and downright uncomfortable if on my feet for extended periods of time. This is leading me to thinking maybe I should be stocking some 7.5D or 7E for the days I think I may be walking around alot?

On a side note, I'm thinking of picking up my first pair of golf shoes (just got ordered some clubs) in the 7.5D size - would this be advisable? - I wear a size 8D in my running shoes, so imagining a half size smaller would be ideal as I wont be pounding my feet?

Just size to allow for any swelling. It's why some say to try shoes on later in the day. Some of my shoes feel just slightly loose first thing in the morning but that goes away with walking. Non issue to me.
