New Captain's causing minor discomfort around the bridge of the foot. Should I resize?

Is this normal?

So I recently received my first pair of boots, a pair of brown captains. I normally wear a size 11 in sneakers and sized down to a 10.5 for this pair.

On my first time trying on the shoe I've noticed a small amount of discomfort right around the bridge of my foot right before the toe area. I have enough room around my toes and it feels fine there.

I understand these shoes are supposed to mold to your feet as you break them in so I wanted to ask if this is normal or if I should go up in size

You may need a higher instep last which Thursday doesn't offer unfortunately

I have a high instep as well. The podiatrist recommended I wear supportive running shoes because of it, and I was worried that these boots might not work for my foot.

At first I felt a little discomfort but it seems to be fine now after a short break in. If it doesn't go away then you'll have to go with a company that does make boots with a last that will support the type of arch you have.
