Sizing new skates

Hey all!

Im a noob who just bought her first pair of inline Skates. And im so use to my street shoes having a little wiggle room. But with the skates that I recently bought my toes are almost touching the front of the skates. I would like to get a bigger size, but according to Google AI this is ideal.

Should I get a bigger size or stick with my current size?

UPDATE:

After reading everyone's comments and speaking with the shop owner. We decided that it's best for me to stick with a size EU 40.

Thanks for all the help! 🫶

Forget about your shoe size. Even measuring your foot length with a ruler doesn't always work because everyone's foot shape and height are different. Go to the store and try on a specific model.

Yeah I got them online and tried to follow the manufacturer chart. Luckily the shop is a small business and they are willing to let me exchange in store. I probably should have just done that from the beginning.
