My apologies if this belongs in another forum, such as gear, but I wanted to get as much input as I could from women in the know. I figured if anyone knew the solution to this dilemma, someone here would.
Has anyone had any success finding cycling shoes in the 34-35 range? Size 36 seems to be the smallest anyone makes, as far as I could find.
Thank you
i think they run very small - i take a 36 in regular shoes but a 38 in cycling shoes and they are not at all loose-- have you tried any shoes on in size 37 or 38, or are you just looking online? my friends all take a couple of sizes higher than their regular shoe size in cycling shoes also...
I second that. I took one size larger when ordered the shoes online. It's already too fit. Probably two size larger may be OK with me.
Maybe you can try #36.
I agree with the other posters. My euro size in street shoes is 39, in most cycling shoes is 40, and in Sidi cycling shoes is 41. I'd try a few things on- you may be pleasantly surprised to find that a 36 fits!
Some brands have varied widths as well...if that helps at all.
I have seen children around here in nice cycling shoes, have you looked into childrens sizing?
I had to send Sidi a letter asking if they had a crash replacement policy (hubby had to have his brand new shoe (a week old :( ) CUT off of his foot in a mtb accident.) They were very nice and prompt with a reply...call them and any other brand you have interest in. I personally like Shimano cause I have a fat, short foot and they fit nice! (size 36) I wear a 6 in a running shoe
Good Luck
a lot of the bmx kids clip in, and those shoes go down to a size 1 which I believe is like a 33. If you dont mind wearing a mountain type shoe check out the Fly racing talon II. Also a company called THE is coming out with a shoe called the little clipper. It's silver and black and look very nice. Those are only available in smaller sizes.
Good luck
I'll third or fourth trying Sidis. I'm an american size 5 or 5 1/2 usually and I take a 37 Sidi. I tried a pair of 36s once and they were too small. You can't get the highest end shoes.... but at least they carry them.
I just looked at Sidi's shoe size converter.... they are at least a size off other ones I'v seen. Most converters put a 37 in the 6.5 - 7 American range. Sidi puts a 37 right where I need it to be... a 5.5... they go down to a 36 in some models, which they say is equal to about a 4.5 here.
Hi
I take a 35/36 - never a 37 & I found some Shimano road shoes which were size 35 & way too small (ie;, Shimano probably make a shoe that will fit you). Your other option is Keen commuter sandals - I got a US size 5 & they fit well (all other sandals are far too big).
to be honest cycling shoes are less of a problem to me than regular shoes - in the Uk because we lack a large Asian market pretty much nothing starts under a size 37!
Hi - we have Shimano, Louis Garneau and Sidi all down to size 36 (not all Sidis come in 36, but some do). A size 36 sidi is probably the smallest of the bunch. If you are really truly a size sidi 35, you might try to find a european retailer to ship you one. Sidi does make a 35 in a very limited # of styles, but the US importer does not bring it in to this country, due to a lack of demand. In all our years of business (nearly 11), I've only had one adult female customer truly need the sidi 35 - but you might be the 2nd. :)

At least they didn't have to cut off his foot which is how I read this at first. Man I need a nap!Quote:

I wear a running sock instead and it works like a charm.
I bet a 36 would work for you.
I wear a size 4 (US size) in women's dress shoes.
But I wear a 36 in biking shoes...remember you feet will swell. And they are stiff shoes and I swear run small! I am in specialized. I used to wear nike.
I wear a 6.5 in runnign shoes...talk about needing some room.
So luckily in the athletic world I am in the normal size range!
So give it a try.....:)
I 5th or 6th Sidis. I can't say their smallest size, but I actually needed larger than the largest they make for women. I don't remember the length, but I'm a women's 10 in regular people shoe terms. So, I had to get a men's. But the reason I got Sidis is because I have an extremely narrow foot and I was swimming in my Shimanos. Sidis fit nice and snugly around your foot and can be tightened or loosened in that regard.
Trek store in Columbus, Ohio had a table of clearance Nike shoes for $10 each. Most all were 35 with a couple 36 womens. Had at least one carbon sole road shoe ($199 list). Give them a call I bet they would ship to you.
Wow, thank you so much for all the responses.
The shoes are not for me, but for a friend.
I have e-mailed her a link to this thread and hopefully she will have luck following some of the leads you have suggested.
