Superfeet in Cycling shoes?

[Dianyla]

I actually got fitted for running shoes once and the guy fitting me said "you have size 11 arches on a size 10 foot." In other words, I have very high, very long arches with insteps to match.

Yes, I've got the same thing. My arch length is for a women's size 10, but my total foot length is about 9. Yeah, I have stubby little toes. Good fitters understand this and know what they're doing. When I'm seeing a new fitter I tend to keep my mouth shut and observe the shoe fitter to test them. If they don't notice this detail, I don't take them seriously.

And yep... Sidi Mega's for me as well. If only they'd make winter boots in the Mega width.

If only. I do ok with nice wool or wool blend socks and neoprene booties but Sidi Winter booties would be heaven. Particularly on those cold, rainy northwest winter rides.

Me three. (except it's more 9.5 arch and 8.5 foot) Gotta admit, though, that our stubby little toes are *cute*!

I tend to buy for my arch and width, rather than for my length. Keens and Chacos, though, I can buy for length and they fit great. Now if only either made bike shoes.

So far I'm happy with men's Specialized Tahos. Guess I'll be checking Sidi Megas one of these days!

Aren't they cute, though? I'd post a pic but... eh, might excite some internet weirdos out there.

Until I figured out that my toes are unusually short, I always used to be so when people would talk about their toes getting jammed by their shoes. I'm thinking "How does that happen, anyway?!"

The Megas might be overkill for you, actually. I find Keens and most Mens shoes to be too narrow. Those shoes run around a D/E width, from what I understand. I something more in the EE/EEEE department.

I'm noticing a pattern here. The Keens rock. I have three pair.

Uh, and two pair of dress shoes (one military, one not), two pair of running shoes, two pair of hiking boots, a pair of semi-plastic climbing boots, rock climbing shoes. My Chacos, teva flip flops (10 years old), two pair of cycling shoes...

I have a lot of shoes. Pretty sure I have more than SGTigerBoss.

And yet, I only wear two of the keens (preferably matching), my combat boots (work and in uniform) and the running shoes.
