Cycling shoes for wide feet?

[ny biker]

Okay, it turns out that I bought a pair of Bontragers. Specifically the RL Road WSD shoe. I went with white.

They are not super-wide, but they felt like they were shaped right for my feet and were wide enough to give me some wiggle room at the toes, and also seem a tad longer than my Sidis. They also have great arch support, which I really need. And since Bontrager products have a 30-day comfort guarantee, I have a month to try them out and decide that I'm happy with them.

I also got new cleats to go with the new shoes, so I can still use the old shoes as a back-up pair if needed. (They put the cleats on the shoes while I waited, even though the store was closed for 20 minutes by the time they finished with the cleats and rang up the sale. They really are great at this LBS. )

If the Bontragers don't work out, I will probably try a pair of Shimanos.

Thanks very much for everyone's input!! I hope this thread comes in handy for anyone else searching for a better-fitting shoe, especially folks with wider feet.

p.s. something interesting to note -- on the Bontrager website, it says that the size I got (41) equates to a 9.5 in US women's shoe sizes. I have never worn a size 9.5 in any shoe in my life -- in Clark's I usually wear an 8.5 and in most other shoes I wear a 9. But a 40.5 (size 9 equivalent) would have been too small in these shoes.
