The Shimano shoes fit me perfectly. I don't have wide feet, but my left foot is half a size bigger and has a small bunion. I need a wide toe box. Plus, not a lot of companies make women's shoes in my size. Well, the shoes are fixed, the epoxy is dried, and new Frog cleats are installed in my winter cycling boots and Keen sandals. DH convinced me to keep the Frogs on my road bike until I can test out the shoes again. Looks like it might not be until late Thursday or Friday, as rain is moving in. I actually feel like I need a break from riding and this will force me.
My LBS staff tells me that men want white shoes, women do NOT want white shoes, and what color shoes are delivered by the bike shoe companies? White for women and not for men. It was an interesting conversation and it appeared to be a little frustrating for them.

I am sorry that you've had this problem with the shoes and cleats. I do think you will like them, and glad you were able to discover/solve the problem so quickly!
