Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Adidas x Shimano Shoe Size

I am about to place an online order for some Adidas shoes and would like to avoid having to send it back due to size issue. If I am a size 47 on Shimano's, would I be the same size with Adidas?

The shoe that I am looking at is the Adidas "AdiStar Super Pro Classic" the old style look at $139.00 from www.bikesomewhere.com not exactly a bargain at $139 but its original price was $199.

The best way to find a GREAT deal on shoes is to visit as many online stores as you can since most of them will always have closeout deals but you need to be lucky as most of the time they have only a few sizes left.

That would be my estimate, too. I wear an Adidas 13, and Shimano 48's were a little tight for me.

I found that Shimano shoes run a half size small, same as Jeff. I normally wear a 12, and had to buy Shimano 48.
