I've been running 5/6 days a week for the past 8 months, but have started to train more seriously going longer distances, however i've found that I'm getting blisters on my toe next to my big toe from gripping, the shoes I thought where a good fit, maybe could get use a half size smaller but hard to get half sizes 8.5 Is this a problem with fitting or just a smyptom of running

Try seeing a podiatrist.
I'd be interested to hear what conclussion you reach.

Because of the design of the shoes (rider & creation) the creation does come up a little smaller than the rider, from where you have the blisters, it seems that your toes are hitting the end of the shoe and rubbing.
When running the foot will swell about 1/2 a size from heat and pressure. This is the most common cause of "black toe" which is what you have described. All the Mizuno shoes come in half sizes, and a decent store will have them.
