Nike Shox TL

I wanted Nike Shox since they first came out years ago, but was disappointed in my recent purchase. These are fashion and not function shoes. It’s like walking on bricks. The heel looks like a football cleat and then comes together narrowly at the toe. I think the toe looks like elf shoes. The side profile of the shoes is on fire though. I have a rather narrow foot, but the toe box just feels extra narrow to me. I don’t grasp why shoe companies don’t make shoes that actually resemble our foot shape (narrower in back, wider in front). Finally, most Nikes run 1/2 size too small on me; I’d order up at least 1/2 size.
