Pascal 1460 too small?

Pascal 1460 too small?

I’ve had different types of Dr Martens in the past, but ultimately, the Pascal is still my favorite. After using my old ones for 6 years, I’ve now ordered new ones. Exactly the same ones, or so I thought.

I’ve worn them for 3 days now, but when walking, I notice that my toes sometimes touch the front. When I’m sitting, I don’t have any issues. Absolutely no pain either, but it does feel a bit uncomfortable to keep sliding forward and hitting the front. Sorry for the weird photo, but that’s my foot when I’m standing on the insole.

I ordered the shoes secondhand because I thought they would fit anyway. I always wear a size 41 in Dr Martens and all other shoes. But I find it very strange that this pair feels so different. Of course, my 6-year-old pair feels different, but I can't remember having this problem.

What do you guys think? Is it a matter of breaking them in (even though they are secondhand, they haven’t been used so the leather hasn’t been broken in yet) or should I sell them and buy one size larger?
