Size 38.5 vs 39 Sidi shoes

[madscot13]

when I bought my Sidis the guy at the shop recommend I do men's size because I have wide feet but not in the Mega sizes ( I think Mega does not start till 40). the men's sizes gave me more width in my toe box. I can't compare this to the Specialized shoes because I can't remember a fit of a shoe I tried once). This might sound like blasphemy to some of the women in here because a woman's foot is not similar to a man's foot; however, I did not catch any problems with my heel. I am actually quite comfortable with these shoes with exception to my arch. I had to place in some soles that Knotted recommended.

The mens I have at home to try on actually felt better than my womens too. I just got an order with the Superfeet insoles. Dang... I was thinking about posting a pic of how they fit my arch. I almost feel like my arch is still too high for them (yellow). The green say they are for a high arch. I don't know if they would work in a cycling shoe though. My kids got elmers glue on my camera today, so I might have to check my technical capabilities before I can do that.

I don't use the size that the sole is fitted for. I'm not sure if I have a high arch but in comparison to the length of my feet it is a long arch. What I did was I bought the sole that fit my arch since that is what the insole is for ( in my case)- to provide support for your arches. I ended up buying a larger size insole than what is recommended for my shoe size. I have never had any experience with yellow, only berry and green. what is yellow supposedly for?
