shoes with wide toebox

[Eden]

Are you completely set on road shoes? "Touring" shoes or some styles of mt bike shoe might be a good option for you. They tend to have a nice wide toe box and a more comfy fit than straight up road shoes. They also generally have a recessed cleat and are walkable.

I had Sidi Genius 5s (mens) and they were okay for shorter rides, but toes fell asleep on long rides - not quite wide enough. When I bought my new bike, I bought new pedals, cleats, and shoes. I ended up with Shimanos (a tri shoe, in this case), the bike shop dude said they tend to run wider in the toebox. I did still have to buy mens, but they fit great! Mine are a 40 - we first tried some Pearl Izumis, which he said also run wide, but the mens didn't have a 40/41.

My dad has wide feet and loves his Specialized MTB shoes, too, so +1 for Specialized. If you expand your search to other shoes, you really expand your choices.

I'm currently riding in a pair of MTB shoes, size 39, which have never felt as comfortable as I'd like. I searched for new cycling shoes for six months before I finally found a pair that felt like they had enough room in the toebox. Broke the sesamoid bone in my right foot several years ago (run over by a tractor trailer loaded with sandbags -- ouch!) and have had issues finding shoes that are roomy enough since then. Tried Sidi Megas, both men's and women's -- not enough room. Several people recommended Specialized for their wide toebox -- not enough room. After months of trying on shoes, slipped on a pair of Shimano SH-R085 road shoes, and it was LOVE! I knew they were going home with me as soon as I put them on.

I have a wide forefoot, and found Specialized Sport mountain bike shoes fit me well. Love them.
