Well, I finally put my foot in the new sized 12 concords and they are too big for me. I am appalled because I can't even get a refund from air goat, as it is over 3 days since I received them. I have never experienced anything like this before. 11.5 is slightly tight and 12s are too big. Nature has played me, lol. I've spent about $2000 on 7 pairs of Jordan 11s this past 2 months and it's freaking me out.

I spoke to a friend this morning who is a Jordan collector. He told me its " no big deal ". He recommended a professional shoe repair shop that can slightly stretch them out a little without damaging the patent leather. I will send off my size 11.5 low concords since I wore them the most. The others are still brand new and some are only wore once, so I won't risk it.

Your thoughts, gents.

I've had leather dress shoes stretched out by a professional shoe repair person and they turned out great.  Never had them done for Jordans but it's not a bad idea.  Good luck.

My Concord XI Lows are a little tight.  I lace them loosely and I put a cedar shoe tree in them after wearing from time to time to stretch them.  That's been helping a little.

The shoe repair shop I dropped them off to are supposedly the " best " in Brooklyn. They charged me only $15, but that is only to stretch the sides only, as my pinky toe hurts after 20 minutes of walking. My big toe is fine. Tomorrow evening my 11s should be ready. I will keep you guys posted.

Yes let us know please. I have wide feet and went with a 10 in Concord XI low. They were a little snug even though I am TTS 10. Not sure if i'll go with 10 or 10.5 in SJs this holiday season. If stretching works I would prefer to buy my TTS.
 
Ok, gents, just got back from testing the 11s out after I picked them up from the shoe shop. I got home n put them on right away. I took an 8 block walk with them n noticed the pain in my pinky toe didn't come back but the shoes still felt a little too snug. Feels like he only stretched them out by a quarter size n no more. The patent leather remained unscathed so that's good. I expected a comfortable all day fit but this didn't happen. My advice to you guys is buy shoes that fit and save yourselfs the headache, or in this case, foot ache.

A half size bigger is no biggy n hardly noticeable. I have now about 8 pairs of low 11s and here are my 11.5 (black) and size 12s (blue). Both pairs were worn only once. They appear to be the same size but the 12s feel way more comfortable.

That depends on how long you wear your 11s. Not sure how " snug " they feel to you, but I would go 10.5. You can wear them all day long and still feel like you just put them on.
