How do Northwave shoes run?

[nscrbug]

I have a pair of Northwave Shivers...I use them for spinning. I also have the road version of that shoe - the Velvet, that I use for road riding. I really like them and wish Northwave would continue to expand on their women's line, but that doesn't seem to be the case. My Velvet shoes are starting to look worn and scraggly and I'd love to replace them with another pair, but I'm having a hard time finding any, especially in my size. As for sizing reference, my Shivers are a 42.5 and my Velvets are a 42. I wear a size 10.5 - 11 in running shoes. I got the Shivers a half-size larger because I tend to wear a more cushioned sock at the gym, which takes up more room in the shoe. However, I have also worn thicker wool winter socks with my road shoes and it didn't seem to pose much of a problem. But that could be due to the fact that my winter rides are much shorter in length, so my feet don't have an opportunity to swell as much.

Check their return policy, then buy both and return the ones that don't work out.
