Anyone with wide feet tried Northwave shoes?

I recently had someone recommend Northwave Mission MTB shoes for my wide, fairly square-toed feet (size 10 EE US for most athletic shoes). I like the look for commuting, touring, etc. but they don't mention a wide width though several reviews specifically mention a good fit for wide feet. The Shimano M088s I'm wearing are the WIDE version and even then I had to buy them a half size larger (plenty of room past the toes but just barely enough across the ball of the foot) to get adequate width. Anyone tried them?

I haven't tried Northwave, I found a good fit with Sidi Mega's and won't switch.

Never tried NW shoes myself, but a good friend of mine with a wide toe box loves them.
