hey guys, i was hoping that you could help me out with this one, im 6' 10", and i wear a size 15 shoe. ive been training on my bike for a while, and im ready to step it up to a clip in style pedal, and the appropriate shoes, the problem is, im having trouble finding a shoe that is bigger than a 48, or a 50. ive checked out the web site JENSONUSA.COM and they didnt have anything. maybe someone can help me?

You will need something like a Sidi Dominator 5 shoe. They make them up to size 52. Size euro 49 in Sidi converts to a US size 14.

If you have a wide foot, look for the "Mega" versions of Sidi shoes.

They are expensive, but Sidi shoes are the best for big feet! I have a size 14 foot at 6' 1". Doc says I'm still growing! :eek:

do you guys with the mega feet have any problems clipping the chainstays or seatstays with your heel?
