I went half an EU size down figuring that I wouldn't have as much trouble getting them on. It's too early to tell if i made the right choice as I'm still in the painful breaking in stage, but no issues getting them on or rubbing excessively in one place.

This is based on me wearing them as i type this and them hurting at a level of pain that imples about a haaaaaaaalf size smaller. Next pair i might get some 39.5's

Tiiimmm
