My feet are short and wide with an extra high instep! Shoe shopping is a real chore. I have had very good luck with Specialized shoes. They have different types of inserts and wedges you can get that really help refine the fit, adjust the angle and help with overall pedaling style. When I got a second pair of Specialized shoes, I duplicated the set up on my first shoes in the new shoes and had instant comfort. It's worth looking into anyway. bikerHen
