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.

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.
