ASICS GT Mens Running Shoe

I've had my Asics GT-2000 6 shoes for around 6 months; maybe a little more. They fit great in terms of length and width, but the toe box is really short and pushes down on my toenails. This is a real shame because they are otherwise the best Asics I've had in years in terms of how they feel under my feet. Because they are a bit uncomfortable to wear on my toes, I have not used them as much as I would have otherwise, so I can't say if the durability issues others have had would be an issue for me. I've worn them more than most who have had problems, but not in the kind of use that might stress them because they are simply only comfortable enough to walk around in casually. Any running and my toes start to hurt from the nails being pushed down. As I said, these are the most comfortable Asics I've had in years if you take the toe box fit out of the equation, so I'm torn between moving on or trying a half size bigger. I've tried some on and they still fit within the normal parameters, even though I've never had Asics in that size before. I think that these may just run a quarter size smaller than Asics normally are. It's possible that the others with mesh tearing are similarly buying their normal size and they are under too much tension from being a little too small. I've had Asics since the first Gel Lyte back in the mid-80s and I've always worn a 10.5, but maybe these just need to be an 11. Hard to recommend these to anyone, even though I do like a lot about them. They were almost the best Asics I've every had, but are almost the worst.
