Shoe Fit

[greycoral]

Yeah, I've got kind of a wider toe box, I had tried on a pair of Sidi 39's, and my toes were practically crossing themselves they were so scrunched up. The Sidi 40 was a tighter fit (while comfortable) than the Louis Garneau shoes I just got, but I didn't even think about thicker socks. I tried them on with a thin pair. They fit well everywhere else, no slipping in the heels, etc. Guess I just have more room to wiggle my toes!

I just got Sidi megas which I had never tried, because I imagined they would be big enough for my feet to take oars and row, but Brewer ordered them for me anyway because the price was right...and...they're perfect!

My thought on fit is that some part of the foot needs to be snug but not tight. I don't want my foot to bump and slide especially not toes bonking the end of the box or rubbing the "ceiling."

I like it best if my heel is stable, but given the choice, I'd rather put up with space around my scrawny heels than too tight around my FlintstoneFoot instep and toes.

None of the geneologists has turned anything up yet, but I wonder about hobbitses in the family tree.

what's a flintstone foot instep?

[malkin]

You know, like Fred Flinstone's...wide.

Mine are very snug, but I prefer them that way. My feet are not cramped, but I do not have room to fully and freely wiggle all of my toes. They fit sort of like ballet slippers. I have ridden up to 85 miles without trouble (for the past two years I've been wanting to do a century but it hasn't happened yet -- next summer hopefully).

Like ballet slippers...That's a whole nother ball o fun, isn't it?

If you rode 85, you can ride a century!
