I regret buying my standard shoe size

I’m a total novice and these are my first climbing shoes. I bought the same as my standard shoe size, based on the advice on this site. My toes are tightly scrunched up in these shoes, and after less than a minute of climbing I was in such pain I threw them off the rock face and continued climbing barefoot. I have since been trying to stretch them using a hairdryer and brute force, but I doubt they’ll ever be comfortable. If, like me, you’re looking for a comfortable and affordable beginner’s shoe, I would go two full sizes up from your normal street shoe size.
