There's a massive difference between "slightly too small" and "slightly too big" IMO.

I'll be the first to admit that I often wear larger shoes than would fit me perfectly. Why? My feet are so small that it my feet disappear underneath my trousers. My feet are also wider than is normal which makes purchasing shoes an aggravating experience. You don't often see 8's in EEE's or F's. As a result for the sake of balancing my height against the size of how my feet appear and because of the abnormal width of my feet (wooo clublike feet!), I purchase shoes often larger than would be ideal for what constitutes a perfect fit.
I hope nobody says yes. I buy things because of quality and how they fit. I also admit that labels play a major role in considering my purchases but if you are buying things that dont even fit just because your getting a great deal on a label, then you sir, are the worst kind of brand whore.
Shoes that are too narrow or too small may cause irreversible foot damage if worn for long periods of time. This includes bunions.
How much room is supposed to be in the toe? I'm not sure I've EVER worn a pair that fits right- I appreciate BS's post, but I have shoes that fit in the heel but seem like they have a lot of room up front. But I've always been comfortable enough, I suppose, so I must be doing something right.
I wore these shoes that hurt pretty bad when I started wearing them, but I've been wearing them every day and now they don't hurt, but I feel like my pinky toes are messed up.
My feet are hard to fit--long and narrow. I visited Moulded Shoe in Manhattan recently (10 E 39th St). One of the partners took one look at my feet and pulled several pairs of specially made Aldens from his stockroom. Each felt like it was custom made for me.He then explained why each shoe was so much more comfortable than anything else I've ever worn. It's all in how the last matches your foot. You might consider checking out the shop.

A lot of research on bunions. I had severe bunions on both feet at an early age, and went through surgery for both; one minor, one major and including breaking of metatarsal. The ordeal taught me about bunions, how they develop, and how to avoid them.
Tight shoes do not cause bunions. Neither do high heel shoes. Don't believe everything that you hear. If you had bunions at an early age, you must have been wearing tight dress shoes coming out of the womb. The biggest contributor to the presence of bunions is heredity. I mean, you are the prime example of this - but you choose to think that its tight shoes. Sheesh.
