Has anybody needed to size down on gats?

In reading past posts, it seems most ppls recommendation has been to go tts or even size up.

i'm 42 (8.5) on most shoes (af1, dunks, jordan 1,3, 4, 5, nb 990s) and 41 on veja's. i tried on the 41.5 (8.5US) gats and they have about 1.5 fingers worth of space, has any else experienced this?

When I tried on the 41 in the store, it felt a bit narrow just past my toes for me, but length wise felt good.

Would it be better to try and stretch out the 41 or get used to the looser fit? Curious to see if anybody has weird sizing issues like me.
