Cycling shoes for wider feet

[KnottedYet]

I wear men's Specialized Taho mtb shoes, with metatarsal pads glued to my "Superfeet" style insoles to keep the pressure off the nerves in the front of my feet. Looooove my shoes! I have narrow heels and need a wide toebox.

I don't have cycling shoes but for all my athletic shoes I just go

I'm a perfect size 8 ... in men's shoes. (Or a 41 or 42, I forget.) (My poor brothers don't have a wider gender to go to... so it's hunting around for those EEE widths...) I'm very glad my feet aren't a little smaller, 'cause a lot of shoes don't come in smaller than 8's. I think "women's specific" in shoes prob'ly means... narrower.

When I got running shoes I was told about which brands of women's shoes would run wider - and maybe some of the same companies also make bike shoes, too. (I don't remember what they were 'cause I figured I'd do what I knew worked.)

Gonna go hit LandsEnd for shoes that *aren't* mesh - it's wintertime, after all!

Pearl Izumi's shoes have a wider/fuller toe box with a narrow heal. Try the Vagabond Road.

Real wide feet go with Sidi Mega Wide!!! I have a pair of the Dominators in a size 40 (the smallest Mega wide size they make). The road version is the Genius.

Sidis DO come in Mega sizes less than 40 because I have 38s in a Mega. Maybe this has changed since I bought my shoes 3 years ago, but usually i wear 36 or 37s. The Sidi mountain shoes I originally had were causing my feet to swell and go numb, so I bought the Road version of the Dominators in a 38 mega when i got new pedals. They are perfect and I can wear Woolie Bully socks with them with no problems.

Robyn Maislin - I purchased mine last year and the 40 was the smallest size. In the 2007 catalog there are no sizes available in the mega wides below 40. I guess they did change their size offerings after you were able to get your shoes. Bummer for folks smaller than 40.

I have wide-ish feet--meaning that in some brands/styles I need wide sizes and in some I don't. My cycling shoes are Diadora, which seem to have fallen out of popularity lately, but they fit me and feel great, so I'm sticking with them.

I like this thread...

New Zealanders typically have wide feet... but I need to go check what my shoes actually are - they are both second-hand.

A couple of sons have wide feet, so this is a great "research thread" for me.
