I must have shoes that are one size bigger than my feet because otherwise it feels very uncomfortable for me. Anyone else feel this way?

I like shoes a bit loose, but not too loose. Maybe a half size longer, with wide widths.

My shoes are tight enough that my feet down slide or swim in the shoes but loose enough that I can put on and take them off without untying them. It's quite difficult to get right when I get new shoes.

I prefer my shoes to fit normally for the most part. I have to wear them loose for the time being, because I pulled my right hamstring 4 nights ago in a supermarket and that makes it hard to reach down and put them on.

My shoes have to be just right. Not tight at all, or they hurt. Not slack at all, or they feel precarious like they're going to fall off. I stick to lace-up shoes so that I have a bit of control over the tightness. It's not always easy to arrange. I've got a pair of moccasin slippers with laces that run round the back and over the top of my foot. Fastening them with the right tension is difficult. If they're slightly too tight, the laces dig into the top of my feet and feel like they're cutting into the flesh. But if they're slightly too slack, they fall off.

I prefer my shoes to, well, fit. But I can't stand any tightness around my toes, need toe room. Hate the feeling of them being all crammed up and unable to move. But tightness on other parts of my foot does bother me. In fact I don't want my shoes too be too loose because then your feet slip around in them and give you blisters. So I like them not tight but not loose either. Loose on the toes, tight around the rest of my feet. But because my feet are halfway between sizes I round up for the most part and that gives me the toe room. :)

I used to tie them very tight. Still tie the pretty tight, but after a couple of hours I have to loosen them, because it hurts. Then I want them very loose.

I like them tight.
When they are loose, I can't run.

I wear mine tight bordering on too tight, I've hurt my feet doing it but I can't stand my shoe moving around on me.

It depends on my mood. Somedays deck shoes or sandles, others pointed cowboy boots.
