    Adidas road shoes

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Does anybody know how their shoes fit? I'm in love with their Karma '08 road shoes, but I can only seem to find them online, as no bike shop near me carries them. I wear a size 41 in my Sidi's. I tried the Specialized BG Torch Road shoe over the weekend and their size 41 fit me a little tight. Well the left shoe fit well, the right shoe, my toe was hitting the front on the inside. I know that different models from the same brand fit differently as well. I guess I could always buy them and return them if they don't fit, but I figured i'd ask some of you girls on here first.

    Hi,
    I think Adidas shoes are sized in men sizes (6, 7, 8...).
    Not sure what the conversion would be, but I own all Adidas cycling shoes and they are all 6.5 - while my regular everyday shoes are 7 or 7 1/2. Not sure this may help you - you could also try some of the online vendors and see if they have sizing charts, sometimes they do. Try Excel sports and Nashbar, they may have sizing charts that compare the different brands.
    Could you ask your local bike shop to order that model in two or three different sizes so you can try it?

    Dang, we're out of sync... If you buy the Torch shoes in 42, I'll trade you my size 41 left, only 2500 miles

    Hey - I tried these shoes in in my LBS - really loved the looks but they weren't stiff enough soles for me. But, FWIW, I currently wear Specialized Motodivas, size 41. When I tried on the Adidas, the closest fit ended up being something like a 40 2/3 according to the label. Length was fine, if not slightly long, but I thought they were narrow across the toes (but then again, maybe it's my feet that are slightly wide )

    What kind of pedal are you running?
    Speedplay tells me they aren't compatible.

    Thanks for the info guys!

    Lol Oakleaf!

    I just got myself some Look Keo Elle pedals, so they should be compatible.

    This may or may not have anything to do with your inability to find this shoes but my sources tell me Adidas is getting out of the cycling supply business and is being taken over by Mavic.
