Mavic Shoe Sizing

Well my shoes are getting old and time to upgrade. I'm thinking about those new Mavic shoes. Does anyone have experience on how their sizes run? I wear a 43 in shimano and specialized and according to a shoe chart, I should be 8.5 UK (how they do their sizes)

If all fails, I could order a few pairs and return the sizes that don't fit.

Apparently Mavic=Adidas and the sizing is the same.

I tried some Adidas (44) on a few years ago and found they run a tad smaller than the 44 Shimano I was using.

Yes, I was thinking hte same thing. Adidas and Mavic shoes look VERY similar...

In terms of sizing, Adidas always uses English sizing 9, 9.5, 10, etc. as opposed to every other cycling shoe that uses euro sizing.

For reference, I wear 43 shimanos, but have a size 9.5 in adidas. According to adidas' box, that's a 43 1/3...a size 10 adidas translate to size 44 euro on the box.

Hope that helps...
