    I have never tried on a pair of Nike, I think one of our stores carries them, but in general I think they run narrow. Like for tennis shoes too. That is one of my issues lately with the feet.

    I love my road Sidi Zetas, but I think the womens fit is too narrow at the ball. My foot is like a flying V with a high arch. I get numb, weird, disfigured, extremely painful cramping now with both my Sidi Zetas, and my Diadora mtb shoes (trail, or inside at spin class).

    I'm trying some diff Sidi in mens (run wider), and have ordered some Superfeet insoles to see if that will help. The other thing is the small cleat of spd, and the lack of stiffness in the mtb shoe, vs a full carbon road sole.

    For the Sidi Vigo, at $120, I can only imagine they are the cheapest non-stiff sole. Since they don't specify "womens" either, I assume they are mens width, and not the narrower fit like my womens Zetas. I don't know what my Diadoras are. I do know that when I used the same spd cleat/pedal on my road bike, and upgraded to the stiffer Zeta, my pain improved (less flex I assume).

    I have two pairs of shoes (well, the Keen commuters don't count, they are for short play), for three activities (road, mtb, and spin class), and one cleat system now... spd. I'm going to switch up to Look Keos (or Ultergras) on my road bike for a wide platform, and eggbeaters on my mtb (just because I loved the 4-sided entry)... so this leaves me with no spd shoes for spin class. What to do... keep part of my trash shoes for spin, and make it work... or new shoes for spin.

    I think I just need the shoe fairy to come. But... I can't see buying a new spin shoe that is only going to end up being the same quality, and potential foot pain issue, as what I have now. That's why I'm looking for some ops on brands...
