I have a very high arch, high volume and very wide feet. I also have problems with morton's neuroma and am still healing from some metatarsal bruising and neuropathy that I sustained on a 500-mile trek a year ago. I also have a half-size difference between the left and the right. After various misadventures in Shimano MTB shoes that were too narrow causing much pain and numbness, my feet trotted me down to the LBS and held me for ransom and forced me to buy the Sidi Dominator 5 Mega MTB shoe. In a Mens 43 Wide.
And would ya know, I'm only 5'4"!!!
Are they worth $230? Maybe, maybe not. They are well made. But after much trying on and gnashing of teeth I bought them because they were the only shoe I could find that's wide enough in the toe without slopping around in the heel, and they are very adjustable.

Dianyla, I am with you--I have much the same foot profile, including a neuroma; it feels hard to justify spending so much $, but having happy feet and riding a bike are both pretty important to me so it is worth it.
