Hello Robert and welcome. Someone gave me a pair of Skywalkers one time and
they should be been too big. I wear a 12 wide and these were a 13. I don't
know whose feet they use to design them but they must have had a very small
forefoot. No room in the toebox at all. I understand completely when you say
they rub the tops of your toes. Since they are leather you might be able to
get a cobbler to stretch out that area to make a little more room. Good
luck...
