I had a posting a while back regarding hot spots I was getting on my toes. Pre-blisters I called them. They wouldn't actually result in blisters even after 3-4 days of hiking with a 35 lb pack. Anyhow, the boots I currently own are La Sportiva Venture Mid XCr. They fit like any of my other street shoes fit, with the toes quite close to the tip of the shoe. I'm wondering if I go with a new pair of boots, should I go with a 1/2 or full size larger? I'm thinking that more room in the toe box might help with the hot spots.

The boots I'm considering are Asolo FSN 95 GTX
