I normally wear a size 7 in shoes. I went to buy some Reebok Tennis Shoes (3D Ultra Lite) and they only has size 6 1/2 and 7 1/2. The 6 1/2 were too tight so I bought the 7 1/2.
I can still return them since I bought them today. Has anyone else bought tennis shoes 1/2 size bigger? Did the shoes work out okay?

From personal experiance it would probably be a bad idea. You can get blisters and do some damage to your foot which can sometimes even be irreverable. When I was working at a mover I had to wear shoes during my first week that were 1/2 larger then my regular shoes and both my feet got major blisters and I couldn't work on one day because my foot started bleedibng.
In short, I would it is a bad idea.

i have worked at finishline for almost a year, for those of you who dont know what finishline is... its a shoe store...
anyways buying your shoes a half size bigger would cause alot of creasing in your new cool shoes and it would make them ware out quicker and look much older than they really are. Also when you walk you might trip over the tips of your shoes here and there because the 1/2 size bigger part will be in your way when you step down..

well it depends on what you are trying to use them for, just recreational tennis shoes its fine to have an extra 1/2 size in there, but if you don't wanna be swimming in your shoes when you're running then i would recommend getting a different pair or wait for a different size.

Do they feel like they will fit right? I have done it before, and not had any problem. The good thing is, they are tennis shoes and not dress shoes. Dress shoes have to be the exact size.

yes because if you buy them the exact size, you'll grow out of them very quickly then end up buying another pair of shoes again. Where as getting them bigger they'll last longer; if you take good care of them...

I guess so. I have to because shoe stores don't carry a 10.5, so I buy an 11.

its best to get tennis shoes that fit snug. but not to tight that its uncomfortable. you don't want your feet to be sliding in them as well.

Yep :)
If you run or walk for long periods of time, you feet may get swollen. If that happens, you can have more foot space.
