I agree with the aggrivation to your pinky toe, I had to go up another 1/2 size to accommodate this. I couldn't find any SFB's in the stores (so I could try them on) so I had to order them. When I got them on I didn't walk in them long and I could tell it was going to be an issue.
Thankfully "Nike store" took them back no questions and got my 1/2 size larger, no problems at all they fit fine and are very comfortable and light.

I'm glad I got the extra half size larger I feel like this will be a better size once my feet really begin to swell on long rucks. Altough my only problem would be if these were intended in any other situation minus long rucks, I would liked to have been able to get my original size (length) and had the option for a wider size.
