I'm going to measure the girth of my shoes around the toe box. I think I need extra long toe straps.
I have strange feet. Most shoes don't fit my duck feet. And it's weird to have such big feet, because I'm only 5'9" (175 cm) tall. I guess I'm hard to knock down, with all the stability I have at the base. :wink:
Hey, Tom, I may have a shoe for you. I have size 9-1/2 EEE feet. For about a year, I've been riding in a pair of Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66s. They're really comfortable, light, fit beautifully into a set of toe clips, have reinforcing that keeps them from wearing out at the clips, don't smell, and I can wear them all day long at work.
I bought them at Macy's, but they're available from several places online, from about $50 to $80. Come in quite a few color combinations -- I have the gray/electric blue ones, that came with both blue and gray laces. So far, haven't worn out the first set of laces. The shoes are well made and quite durable IMO.
