Help with Specialized shoe size

[uforgot]

I also wear 8.5 to 9 and wear a size 40 in Specialized. I find that they are wide enough for my feet whereas Nikes don't fit at all.

My Specialized Torch shoes are true to size - size 40 which is about what I wear in other brands. The shoes offer two positions for the ratchet assembly, which makes them a good fit with my low instep.

Thanks ladies... Sounds like their fit chart is just about right, then! I seem to be a 40 in Shimano, but in US sizes I am always an 8. According to Specialized, an 8 is more like a 39. If you ladies who wear 8.5-9 are wearing the 40, it does sound like I should be a 39.

I am a US women's 9.5/10 and wear a Specialized 42. I bet I could get away with a 41.5 or 41, but I like the looser fit. I second the post about them being wider than Nike.

I am between an 8-8.5 Us shoe, in both my Shimano and Specialized shoes, I wear a 40.
