It's a big hit if they don't.Originally Posted by Mr. Moo
I just got mine, wore them a few times, and now they feel amazing. They were a bit tight to start. Trust me, they will be fine. I will admit though, I was REALLY worried at first. I think EG's just favor a really close fit. And the 606 and 202 are a bit cramped on the upper part of my toe area... Like about the knuckle of my big toe.Originally Posted by Newcomer
shoe trees also help the fit... you want your shoe trees to be snug.Originally Posted by ThinkDerm
How tight? Mine feel very tight at the small toe and big toe. Small toe issues I've learned to deal with but none of my shoes feel like this at the big toe.Originally Posted by Mr. Moo
Like tighter than any other shoes I have owned. The 606 last is just very cramped in this area. However, after one wear it was fine. With that said, I have been wearing VERY thin socks with them.Originally Posted by Newcomer
Moo, can you flex all your toes inside the shoe? If not, they are too tight. This is what I go with, no matter what sizing advice you read on the fora.Originally Posted by srivats
Flex as in fully curl all toes downward? Didn't try... but will now.Originally Posted by Mr. Moo
That to an extent, but more importantly, to the sides ... it is ok if your pinky hits the side of the shoes when you walk, but your toes should be able to splay inside the shoe when you walk as you lift the ball of your feet. Observe what your toes do when you walk barefoot. When you wear a shoe this motion should not be cramped too much. If it does, try a different width.Originally Posted by srivats
Yes... I tried them again with my thinnest socks (VERY thin/almost sheer) and this motion is cramped for me. These are a no go, which totally sucks.Originally Posted by Mr. Moo
Sorry Moo, that sucks. You may want to try the 82 last... I found it to be much more forgiving (surprisingly). The 202 is more forgiving as well in my opinion. And, although harder to find, the 505 has a higher toe box I believe.Originally Posted by Newcomer

As far as my experience goes, 202 and 606 are very similar in fit although 606 is slightly elongated,Moo might go half a size up and see if they work for him. Maybe a bespoke shoe is in the future for Moo.Originally Posted by forex
