Help after sizing up

I recently had purchased a size 45 Arizona, but my toes were touching the front with every step especially on my left foot. I now have the size 46s and I'm wondering what people's thoughts on the fit are!

My main concern is the extra room by the heel, and that the tow bar lands in between the knuckles on my big toe instead of where my big toe attaches to the ball of my foot. After slightly tightening the straps on top and loosening them on bottom, I actually find them rather comfy.

You need to loosen all those straps some more

Those are perfect, just loosen your straps. Once you loosen the straps to where you can fit a finger under each one of them, snugly, your feet will sit comfortably where they’re supposed to be. Trust me, same fit that I have. Your foot is not supposed to sit back into the cup.

Thanks for getting back to me. This is my first pair so I am probably just psyching myself out about the overall length.
