I need some help with Shoes...i'm buying my first clipless pair (road) and am having a very tough time finding a shoe with a narrow enough fit...my feet are extremely narrow and i'm running out of bike stores to go to!
Would you guys have any suggestions?
Have you tried Sidi? They generally run narrow
+1 for the Sidi suggestion
+1 for Sidi as well. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to advertise for other businesses but I recently bought Sidi Genius 5's (2007) brand new for $147 + Tax/Shipping. I got them and they were perfect!
PM me if you would like the company, unless I'm told I can post their info here without getting into trouble :)
I too have narrow feet, and all my bike shoes have all been Specialized. I currently have the pro or comp (can't recall which) carbon model and it fits like a glove.
+1 for Specialized. I have long, narrow, low volume feet and these fit like a glove.
Thank you all for your suggestions! I will have to find some more bike shops here in the area...the ones i have been to mostly carry Nike and Shimano...which seems narrows the selection quite a bit.
I normally wear a size 7, do the sizes vary quite a bit? (i am sure this is a loaded question... ;) I'd cosnider ordering some online if a decent return policy was in place...just in case.
I think both Sidi and Specialized use European sizes. Do you know your European size?
...it really varied by the make...between 38 and 39 ...i'll check sidi and specialized's webpages..maybe there is some sizing help... ;)
+1 bajillion on the Sidis. My experience has been that I need a full size (Euro) bigger in Sidis than I do in Nike, Pearl Izumi, etc.
I also take a bigger size in my Sidis than in other shoes.
My street shoes (which are not too small at all) are 39s, my Sidi cycling shoes are 41.5 I think. If I remember correctly, my Specialized shoes prior to that (which also accommodated my somewhat narrow feet) were 41s.
Narrow feet here too and I really love the fit of my Sidis. They hug my feet, no sliding all. My Specialized Mountain bike shoes have a wide toe box, I do not like that but the arch area is narrow. I still say Sidi for narrow feet.
Nia, FYI, my street shoes are size 8 narrows and in Specialized I take a 39. It is true that the toe box on the Spec mtn shoes is a little roomier than the road shoe, but the road shoe could not be any narrower and comfortably fit my socks!
Good luck!
