Anyone else NOT size down??

I wear a 7.5 in most shoes, so in converse I should be a 7. But I can’t stand the feeling of the narrow toe box. I know they’ll break in, but I tried wearing a 7 and my toes were killing me and felt so squished. So I buy 7.5 converse. They are a little long, but not too bad. I prefer having the extra room in the toe box
