Shoe suggestions for wide feet?

Hey ladies -

I was wandering if any of you have trouble finding road shoes because you have wide feet. My girlfriend is desperately trying to find a nice pair of road shoes but she's having all kinds of trouble because her feet are very wide. Do you guys have any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated. Oh yeah, when we look at shoes online they never give the option to order in a wide (E) even when we know the shoe offers it.

Thanks!

Sidi offers "Mega" models for wider feet. I know I've seen them online before. Usually they are listed completely separate - not just as a size.

Sidi Megas are what my sister wears, and she has very wide feet.

I have wide feet and looked into the Sidi Megas - but they don't make them small enough for me (or at least, they didn't two years ago when I was in the market for new shoes).

I wear Specialized - I buy the men's shoes and they work great for my foot. I order them directly from the Specialized site and I often get really good deals because the previous seasons sales/leftovers are often my size (not a lot of men with super tiny feet). :)

Shimano?

I buy men's shoes for cycling. They work better for me than women's and they aren't that much different, just a lot wider.

Sidi Megas are the way to go. I have very wide (4EEEE) feet.

I love my Shimano shoes. My feet are small and wide and generally buying a mens size to get a wider shoe is not possible. Normally I stay *away* from the women's model shoes as they tend to be narrow. However, I own a pair of Shimano women's shoes and I love them.

Agree! I wear 43's and the men's fit me.

Women's average width = B. Men's average width = D. So, buy your size in men's and you're getting a women's wide. The Sidi Mega is a MEN's wide (E or EE, I can't recall).

Remember that when you go to a men's (or the mega) the whole shoe gets wider, not just the forefoot. It's common for women with a wide forefoot to NOT have a wide heel, but to be rather more triangular. You may find that if you go to a men's you need to do something to prevent heel slippage.
