Specialized shoes
Just wondering if anyone knows if Specialized changed their shoe sizing? I have an old pair of Sworks I was looking to replace. I tried Bonts and they just didn't work for me, they were a little too narrow. So I decided to just stay with Specialized. I bought a used pair the same size as my old ones and they feel at least a size too big. I guess that's the last time I buy cycling shoes online.

I wont advocate bont because they didn't fit me all that well but if you are looking for wide shoes you are better off with bont wides than s works. Even sidi megas. I have fairly wide feet and my bont wides have extra room on the toe box which my s works did not have at all. While the arch on the bonts may be a problem for me, the width is definitely more than adequate. And take into consideration that my bonts are one size too small in the length dept but they still provide better bloodflow to my toes than the s works ever did.

I have 17 year old specialized shoes, and had 2010 comps, 2012 pros,and 2015 experts, all the same size. The sizes did change a bit, as the shoes from this decade do have a bigger toe box and I can fit into a size smaller, but like the small amount of extra room in the toe.
