True to size and not narrow. Unless you have really wide feet or want to get thicker socks in them for riding year round you will be fine.

I wear a 10 or a 10.5 and have feet thinner than most would think humanly possible.
I tried on the 44 and it fit perfectly. Everyone I know has gotten their size and been happy, except my brother that wears a 10.5/11 found the 44 to fit better than the 45.

If you can just go to a store and try them on. How sweet is the deal that you have found?

Found a new pair of Bullets in 44.5 for 50 bucks. I wear a 9.5/10 depending on shoes and I have a sneaking suspicion that these are gonna be too big.

FYI Dominators are cheap at REI

Mine ran small. I ended up getting a 43, which I wear in other cycling shoes. I can't wear my Sidis with socks, cuts off the circulation.

Definitely slightly small and narrow. I had to get a size larger than usual (49 instead of 48) and I have somewhat narrow feet, but they fit pretty snugly (in a good way, not tight).

My road shoes are Shimano r075 (? cant remember exactly) in 43.
But my Sidi Dominator 5s i got in 42.5.
I tried 43 and 42 and got to a 42.5 after some exchanges.
I also tried with some different socks I wear when biking.
I usually wear DeFeet socks now, I couldn't get any of the sidis to fit with the performance brand socks.
But I have narrow feet and the sidis seem to fit me good. They have a mega version for wider feet (normal I guess).

So far so good, it just took me a few times to find the right fit.

BTW, I love my sidi dom 5s. If I hadn't paid so much for the Shimano road shoes I would get their sidi road shoes for my geared bike. Best fit, power transfer (with eggbeaters), and cool look.

Then don't.

If you search my older posts, you'll notice that I don't normally. I just found a stupidly good deal on a pair of bullets and didn't end up jumping on it because I'd rather try them on first.

Werd.
