For what it's worth, if you need room in the toe box Nikes run wide. Especially compared to Sidis. I love my Sidis but as my bunion gets worse on my right foot, some toes go numb during longer rides because they are a narrower shoe on the average. Time to get my orthodics.....

If it will help any, I normally wear a 6.5 wide shoe. I had originally gotten a size 40 Sidi Bullets, which were not very comfortable - the tongue was hitting me in my toes and instep. I was able to exchange them (and pay the difference) for a pair of 39.5 Sidi Dominators, and I couldn't be happier! I also have a problem with bunions and other assorted foot problems, and I definitely have enough room in the toe box.

Thanks gals
I just ordered the 41's at full price. (argh)
I really like the color and I know the shoes I have are sloppy cheap shoes.
and I also know that NO ONE has the 41's on sale .. or even HAS them.
except this one little store...

well, the bike shop called, my shoes are in to try. I was only able to try on the 39.5, they didn't have any 40's, and I am fussy (bunions-after reading this post I am concerned, but glad I am trying on the 40's too) . I have to wait until tomorrow to go to the shop, its 2 hours one way and they are open late tomorrow night. The only bad part is that DH will probably go with me. HE has NO idea how much these shoes cost and how much the pedals I want also cost..oh my god..he is going to die. (life insurance policy=shoes/pedals for remainder of life..hhhmmmm
). I can see the eyes roll back and head striking the carpeted floor now...but I HAVE TO HAVE THOSE SHOES......this addiction is soooooo...bad..

Wow! I was really lucky to get the 41's from Nashbar - seriously, they came back in stock for a very short time
If they don't fit, I'll let TE know before I send them back in case anyone wants them....
But they better fit just like my old ones
Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...
