Shoes - fitting problems
Does anyone here have a wide foot, and if so what shoes do you wear? I tried on the sidi mega's, they were not all that bad, but I still have to go to a bigger size then I need just to fit (width wise) comfortably. Before I pull the trigger on the sidi's does anyone have any recommendations with different shoes. The bike shop said that northwave has a wide shoe but they didn't have any in my size to try on.

Northwave's shoe is wider, but not as wide as Sidi's Mega.
If your Mega's are too narrow, you're going to have to go custom. L8R |
Your best bet is a shoe that has a mesh toe box, and probably one size up, then you would need to stretch the shoe on a shoe stretcher and leave it out on the sun to enhance the stretching. That is what I did on my AXO Cortez mtb shoes. Does it work, you bet cha. What size shoe do you wear?
I am one of those people who buys 4E width shoes from New Balance and still have to go one size up. |
I know what you mean. I hate having wide feet. But skate shoes fit fine so thats what I use for everything except running.

Just long. Not wide. Size 15 is hard to come by in the mtb world. (actually just about anywhere. I have to travel 2.5 hours to buy shoes haha) (oh that is 50 euro sized)

I went searching and finally ended up purchasing the specialized comp. When I slipped my foot in it felt really good. The toe box is huge and fits my foot perfectly, much better then the sidi's megas did. Not to mention they were $130.00 cheaper.
rmwun54, thanks for the consideration but I didn't see you message till today. sorry |
