Cliftons fit .5 too big, both in my experience and consensus.

Hoping someone can help me out with a sizing issue. I bought a pair of MacNeils in my usual, measured shoe size of 11D. They seem a little tight and short in the toe area. I also have a pair of Cliftons in 11D that fit perfectly.
If they pop up on shoebuy it's easy to get them at about 20-30% off using discounts and cashback.
Shoebuy doesn't allow discounts on Allen Edmonds. Right?
AE is great for those of us on a budget.

Does anyone know if the model that previously went by the name of Clifton is now called Van Ness? I saw a pair of Cliftons at Nordstroms in a really nice looking brown, just a remarkably attractive looking shoe. I see no mention of this shoe on Allen Edmonds site however.
I wore my Cliftons to work today! I believe they were discontinued 1 or 2 years ago, though Nordstrom always seems to have them (and tends to put them on sale quite often, if I remember correctly). Checking the AE website, the Van Ness is a rubber-soled captoe oxford with a decent amount of broguing. The Clifton is actually a captoe blucher with simpler broguing (just single dots whereas the Van Ness has the repeating pattern). I think the Benton is the closest thing AE has to it on the website right now, though the Benton's laces go one pair of eyelets further and the Clifton has no broguing on the heel.
same experience for me with shell macneils, I sized up a half size in length to guard against and the toe box was still too shallow, making the shoes unwearable for me. If they had a broader toe box I'd have been fine.
