Funny. A few months ago I read an article in Bicycling magazine, in which they interviewed a number of cycling shoes representatives. And one of them said the exact opposite of what you wrote. He said cycling shoes should be snug and not fit like regular shoes.

Phillyfan:

I have two pairs of Northwave Aerlite S.B.S.; one is size 42.5, the other is 42. I bought the 42.5 first and while they felt, and still feel ok, I wanted a lil more snug fit. Both are fine, I just like the tighter fit better. I'm sure if you go up half size, you'll be fine.
