Road shoes

[nscrbug]

I wear a 10 in street shoes, and a 10.5 in running shoes. I've tried on Sidis in the past, and even the 43 felt snug and my toes felt squished together. I've owned a few pairs of Specialized MTB shoes in a 42, and those felt a tad bit roomier. But it wasn't until I discovered Northwave cycling shoes, before I truly felt comfort. I have 2 pairs of Northwaves now...road shoes for my road riding, and a pair of MTB shoes for spin classes. I wear a 42 in Northwaves and the fit is simply perfect. The toe box is wider, giving me plenty of room to splay out my goofy hammertoes...while the heel area is slightly narrower to prevent heel slippage. My only gripe is that I wish Northwave produced a larger variety of women's road shoes. Their men's line is substantial, but the women's line is lacking.

If you haven't already, you may want to check out Sidi's "Mega" shoes.

I've never looked at Northwaves, but based on the wide toe box and narrower heel they might be just what I need. Thanks.
