    shoe sizes

    i think they run very small - i take a 36 in regular shoes but a 38 in cycling shoes and they are not at all loose-- have you tried any shoes on in size 37 or 38, or are you just looking online? my friends all take a couple of sizes higher than their regular shoe size in cycling shoes also...

    I second that. I took one size larger when ordered the shoes online. It's already too fit. Probably two size larger may be OK with me.

    Maybe you can try #36.

    I agree with the other posters. My euro size in street shoes is 39, in most cycling shoes is 40, and in Sidi cycling shoes is 41. I'd try a few things on- you may be pleasantly surprised to find that a 36 fits!

    Some brands have varied widths as well...if that helps at all.

    I have seen children around here in nice cycling shoes, have you looked into childrens sizing?

    I had to send Sidi a letter asking if they had a crash replacement policy (hubby had to have his brand new shoe (a week old ) CUT off of his foot in a mtb accident.) They were very nice and prompt with a reply...call them and any other brand you have interest in. I personally like Shimano cause I have a fat, short foot and they fit nice! (size 36) I wear a 6 in a running shoe

    Good Luck

    a lot of the bmx kids clip in, and those shoes go down to a size 1 which I believe is like a 33. If you dont mind wearing a mountain type shoe check out the Fly racing talon II. Also a company called THE is coming out with a shoe called the little clipper. It's silver and black and look very nice. Those are only available in smaller sizes.
    Good luck

    I'll third or fourth trying Sidis. I'm an american size 5 or 5 1/2 usually and I take a 37 Sidi. I tried a pair of 36s once and they were too small. You can't get the highest end shoes.... but at least they carry them.

    I just looked at Sidi's shoe size converter.... they are at least a size off other ones I'v seen. Most converters put a 37 in the 6.5 - 7 American range. Sidi puts a 37 right where I need it to be... a 5.5... they go down to a 36 in some models, which they say is equal to about a 4.5 here.

    Hi

    I take a 35/36 - never a 37 & I found some Shimano road shoes which were size 35 & way too small (ie;, Shimano probably make a shoe that will fit you). Your other option is Keen commuter sandals - I got a US size 5 & they fit well (all other sandals are far too big).

    to be honest cycling shoes are less of a problem to me than regular shoes - in the Uk because we lack a large Asian market pretty much nothing starts under a size 37!

    At least they didn't have to cut off his foot which is how I read this at first. Man I need a nap!

    I agree w/ Susan! I wear a Sidi road shoe size 39 *regular width and I have a narrow foot, thats how narrow they run* and in street shoes I normally buy a 7N. I also have a pair of Pearl Izumi tri shoes in a 37.5. That just shows you how small the Sidi shoes run. You might try experimenting with a slightly thicker than normal cycling sock as well. I wear a running sock instead and it works like a charm.
