I've got short, wide feet (US Men's size 10, E or EE) and my LBSs don't stock a lot of shoes. I'm looking for walkable touring or possibly even MTB shoes. The LBSs will special order, but I'd like to avoid having to go through the wait-a-week, send-em-back, routine. Online doesn't sound like a good plan at least until I find a brand and size I like. I'll be in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) area in April. Does anyone know of a bike shop there that carries a wide selection of shoes? I see that there are several Erik's Bike Shops and have heard they are very good but that the stores vary widely in size and stock on hand. Which is their biggest store? I'll only have one free evening while I'm there so I won't be able to do a lot of running around, so any help in narrowing my search will be greatly appreciated.

If there are any Performance stores in the area. They stock a wide variety. (No pun intended)

If you aren't going till April, you could order and return from widely stocked store a few times. I have 11.5 EE feet. I tried both Sidi Mega and Lake Wide (Shimano also makes wide). The Lakes fit me better (and were alot cheaper), but YMMV. Then, spend your chilly April evening at the Target center watching the Twins.

I really like my S works shoes. I find them better than Sidi.
