I'm contemplating purchasing a pair of Shimano MTB shoes from an online merchant. The shoes are size 48 which according to Shimano's sizing chart is a 12.3 in U.S mens. Is this accurate? I've previously worn Giro shoes, size 46.5 and 47. Both sizes fit well.

I have always been pleased with my Shimano shoes being close to true sizing as well as being some of the most durable shoes owned.

I've always found Shimano shoes to fit a bit snug.

Shimano's shoes seem a bit narrow to me.

I have extremely narrow feet; this is all good news. So the width sounds good, the length remains an issue...

My first pair of clippy shoes were Shimano Click'r, EU48. They fit me fine, and I wear a US14.

I buy a lot of stuff online, but my shoes are from the LBS. It seems like EU48 means something different to every manufacturer.

Likewise, I've had pretty good luck with Shimano shoes being both true to size (11US / EU45) and consistent between models.
I would be confident ordering them online.

I always used to be a perfect 10D, but I can't wear even the wide versions of Shimano shoes without up-sizing.

I went to REI .... tried there some Shimano shoes and bought online - the store didn't have the model I wanted, but it had online.

I'm trying to get MTB shoes on the cheap. My bikes are Campy equipped ☺

Pretty accurate. I measure 12 1/2 whenever I buy shoes. Shimano 48's are usually a tad long. 47's are just right for length but a little narrow.

Always felt their shoes were good quality for the price but finally had to move on to Lake for a true wide shoe that I could easily wear all day.

Actually, I have had a set of Shiman shoes go more than 5 yrs and several other brands go less than 1 yr.
