Sorry to be posting yet another shoe query!
I'm thinking of buying a new set of road shoes - namely Specialized Sport 05 http://www.specialized.com/SBCEqProduct.jsp?spid=10160&JServSessionIdroot=kp438xz0yd.j27004.
Does anyone own this shoe and like it? Also looking at the Comp version, bit pricier, but better quality. I have the Taho, which I love, for general commuting, etc., but want to treat myself to a road-specific pair. The choice is very technically based (they match my bike - silver! :o ). I also like the BG fit, but therein lies my problem.
My LBS only stocks it in blokey sizes - ie 41 and above (sorry, Euro fit, I know). I'm a UK size 5/Euro 38 (US 6?). I can order them off the internet, but have no idea if Specialized are a big fit - my Tahos are women-specific, so slightly different.
Sorry, this is long-winded! If anyone owns unisex Specialized shoes, did you have to go up or down a size when ordering?
I've been putting away cash in a pot for over a year, and am going to blow it all on frivoulous cycling items - so could even go for the carbon, but I don't compete, so would rather spend the extra cash on clothing! I have around £150 to spend (which equates to about $150 dollars, as everything is double the price over here in the UK!).
