New Babolat Propulse 2 and sizing question

[xolair]

I just learned from a local pro that there will be a new Babolat Propulse 2 coming out in January 2010. The colors will be silver/black and gold.

Anyhow, I just tried on a size 10 Propulse 2 and my big toe is touching the inside of the toe area. The 10.5 is too wide for my foot and the uppers actually bellow out above the ball of the foot area when I walk so it is too loose. Should I stick with the 10's or move up to the 10.5's? The uppers seem very soft so I don't think they will hurt my toes if I stay in the 10's. Overall, the 10's are a better fit--I'm just a bit worried about the possibility of rubbing my toe against the inside to the point of causing pain.

Have anyone had to move up 1/2 a size on the Propulse 2?

My Propulse 2s fit pretty true to size (length wise), if not slightly small. Personally, I'd go up a 1/2 size and replace the stock insoles with Spenco ones that they sell here at TW. The Spenco insoles will take up some of that room and increase cushioning - it's kinda like going up 1/4 size, IMO.

I would say the fit is true to size. I had the same problem going up a .5 size was too much. I went with the exact fit and haven't had any problems. The material of the shoe does give. The funky mesh/rubber upper combo is not as rigid as the typical leather upper.

Thank you, gentlemen.
I will try the shoes on again when I go back to the pro shop. I will wear my usual playday socks and add some custom insoles as Hominator suggested. I prefer a tighter fit in a shoe as long as the toes don't become painful.
