I recently got the mizuno chrono dashes in an 8.5. The man who sold them to me said that track shoes should fit liek a glove and that there should be no more than a quarter of an inch from my toe to the front of the shoe. When I put them on My toe grazes the tip. Should I bump it up to a 9 or am I fine the way I bought them and he is right?

I also have a problem like this. The shoes I want to get(Zoom JSCs) only are available in sizes 9.5, when I wear a normal 9.5/10 shoe for training. I could always buy 10/10.5 maxcats but I would prefer JSCs unless told otherwise.

I have size 9.5 Zoom waffle flats, and my toes touch the edge of the shoe.
What should I do?

If you're second guessing whether they fit or not, they probably don't fit. Also, if they're tight while you're not doing anything, they'll be even tighter when you start to run because the feet can expand 0.5-1 size due to increased blood flow and compression.
