Sidi Megas are what my sister wears, and she has very wide feet.

I have wide feet and looked into the Sidi Megas - but they don't make them small enough for me (or at least, they didn't two years ago when I was in the market for new shoes).
I wear Specialized - I buy the men's shoes and they work great for my foot. I order them directly from the Specialized site and I often get really good deals because the previous seasons sales/leftovers are often my size (not a lot of men with super tiny feet).

I buy men's shoes for cycling. They work better for me than women's and they aren't that much different, just a lot wider.

I love my Shimano shoes. My feet are small and wide and generally buying a mens size to get a wider shoe is not possible. Normally I stay *away* from the women's model shoes as they tend to be narrow. However, I own a pair of Shimano women's shoes and I love them.

Women's average width = B. Men's average width = D. So, buy your size in men's and you're getting a women's wide. The Sidi Mega is a MEN's wide (E or EE, I can't recall).
Remember that when you go to a men's (or the mega) the whole shoe gets wider, not just the forefoot. It's common for women with a wide forefoot to NOT have a wide heel, but to be rather more triangular. You may find that if you go to a men's you need to do something to prevent heel slippage.
