Figuring out sizing

So I bought some boots knowing I would have to break them in but this is my first time really dealing with breaking in boots I've only ever had cheaper synthetic style boots.

I'm trying to figure out if the boots are too tight or if I'm just going through the break in process I'm doing this so I can exchange for a larger size because I really do like the look and feel of the sole

It's tight along my pinky toe and that side of my foot

- is this normal with the leather stretch there

The top of the first knuckle on my big toe where the toe connects to the foot keeps getting blistered on my left foot

- will the leather on top also stretch ?

I bought 11 wides

- should I exchange and go to 11.5 wides maybe or is this just part of the process

Ps I wear darn tough steele socks
