Big toe woes with Adios Pro 4s

Race Shoe Question

I just finished my first long run (~16 miles) in the Adidas AP4s and my big toes are utterly miserable and bruised. I wear M11 and I have ample space in front of the toes at rest, but apparently this doesn’t hold true while I’m running. I tried lacing it to achieve better heel lock but both big toes continued to get battered over the course of the run.

Will things get better by sizing up by a half or should I return the pair and stick to other plated shoes that work well for me (Endorphin Pro/ Metaspeeds)?
