Speedserve Energized Tennis Shoes

I usually get a half size up on all my tennis shoes but this shoe runs way too big. Not in the sense that it flops, but there's too much room in the tor/top of the shoestring area that bulks. Extra thick socks are necessary otherwise it'll be sunken in at the top of the shoe what the shoestrings begin. Also show looks cheap and bulky - not as sleek as maybe a Nike to the eye.
