Should I buy new shoes? A nail on my left toe hurts.

I have a bunch of different shoes and shift around all the time to alleviate different pains and pinch points. I find this true for running, cycling, even work shoes–that if I wear the same shoes all the time, pain points will arise. For toe pain, the toe box on the left shoe could be too small (many people have one foot a bit larger than the other). Cycling sandals as an alternative could be nice there.

I wouldn’t throw the old shoes out though. I find that in moving to other shoes for a bit usually allows the old ones to work.

for some reason it’s harder than it should be to find cycling shoes that don’t have narrow pointy toes

I have an update. I went to the shop for a new pair of shoes. They measured my feet, and guess what? Turns out that my actual size is bigger than the size of the shoes I wear now. However, I did not buy immediately to give myself some time to study brands, models, and prices. If you have recommendations, I will appreciate them.
