Width difference in skates between 7.5 & 8.0

[jeffg 13]

I have a bunion on the side of my big toe and my Bauer 3x Pro size 7.5 fit 3 rubs. The bunion rubs where the toe cap joins the boot, so the there is no good way to punch it out.  I recently got to try a pair of Hyperlite skates 7.5 fit3, and for some reason the rubbing was less.  I was wondering if I went up a half size to a size 8 fit if they would be a little wider and not rub or at least move my foot back more towards the heel of the skate and away from where the toecap joins the skate boot.

only way to find out to fit in shop. i have same issue with 8 fit3. But then half size up could introduce volume issues.
