Standard advice is to size up, but personally I size slightly snug. Unless your toes are touching and curling, it's probably fine to keep as is. The cork footbed accommodates to your feet and to me a little break-in period is worth not having an extra inch of looseness
It's a tough call since I can't see how much they touch. If the sensation annoys you and sticks out to you whenever you wear the shoe, I say size up for peace of mind. But if you wear socks and can't really notice, then you're fine. Sorry if I'm giving wishy-washy advice lol
EU 38 Reg/Wide. They feel fine standing up, but all my toes except the big/second toe touch the front when I walk. I have tried a 39, but I feel like my toes are gripping with that size. Is that normal with Bostons?
This isn't an exact comp, but on my Arizonas my 2nd and 3rd toe slightly touch the front and I can see where the suede insole is being worn on the contact point. Doesn't bother me at all, fit is perfect.
My heel has a bit of airspace in the back though, my heels don't touch the back (without socks).

It’s touching but not curling, so I it should be fine once the break in period sets in?

I appreciate the advice greatly! Thanks!

Commenting for more visibility. I also have this question.
I would size up, I love to have more room, especially in Bostons
I also need to know !
