I have a question - I normally wear 10.5 US. when I wear nikes they feel okay for the first few minutes with size D, but if I wear them for 30 minutes they start to hurt a little when they are brand new. but when I wear the extra wide version they feel a little too roomy. For size D, do I need to break them in longer for the shoe to feel more comfortable?
