Who makes the widest bike shoe?
I have Shaimano R-106 and they are not to bad. Just want some more width in the toe box. Any suggestions?

Specialized shoes are great for wide feet as long as you don't have duck feet. They have a few more models in a EE wide this year. I imagine those would be great for those with very wide feet. Lake and Sidi also have a wide option for all their road models.

I went with a Shimano R-240 after trying on every Shimano shoe from the R087 to the R315 and this was the most comfortable for me before they were molded to my feet. I also tried on a few Sidi's but don't remember which ones, none of them were really comfortable in the toe box, though I don't think I tried on a Mega version of the Sidi's.

Sidi Megas were too wide through the whole foot, including the heel area, but the Specialized shoes were wider in the toe box only, and just right.

For a shoe that doesn't claim to be wide I've had good luck with Specialized.

Bontragers are pretty good for fat feet.

Specialized makes wide sized shoes. I wear 4E New Balance and I had no problems with my Specialized Comps in size 44. I also like the shims you can insert in to adjust angle.

Shimano make their road shoes in wide-widths as well as normal. I have a pair of R315's in the wide width and they are great.

I tried on a pair of Fizik's the other day while looking for shoes. I really liked them and when I get enough money, they may be mine. I'll have to find a pair of Sidi 6.5 Megas, Ergo 2 or 3's, and maybe some Northwaves.
