Cant wear the DC Versatiles

I wear a 9.5 in Adidas and Nike. So i got a 9.5 in DCs. First pair in 20 years. I cannot fn wear these Versatiles. They hurt like a mofo on the top side of my foot. Ive tried to stretch um and all. They just wear on the side of my foot so much I cant even wear um. Would a 10 do any better with the Versatiles? Its more of a width issue.
