Mavic Mountain Bike Shoes

[itself]

I just stopped at a bike shop yesterday and learned that Mavic has horrible customer service. A shame as their shoes seem really good.

For those that are wearing the Mavics, do you have a wide or a narrow foot?

I have a narrowish foot.

I wear and love my Mavic road shoes, and have an average foot width.

How are the heels on the Mavic women's shoes? We have Mavic shoes at work, but only the men's version. I tried the road shoes on (that's what I was looking for) and was very disappointed that they didn't fit in the heel because they felt so wonderful everywhere else.

These seem to fit quite well for me in the heel, and I have had some issues with heel slippage in the past. (If that's what you mean.) They are comfortably wide enough in the toebox without being too wide, and snug enough in the heel. I had always worn Shimano shoes in the past as they seemed to fit me best, and the Mavic's fit considerably better for me.

And agreed on the length. I wear a 40 (US size 8) in the Mavic's, a 8.5 sneaker (Nike) and wore 41's in my Shimano road shoes, although a 40 in my Shimano MTB shoes.

I also tend to have problems with heel slippage but not with my Mavic Scorpios (mtb shoes). I take a 10 in athletic shoes, and got these in a 41 though a 42 might have been a better choice. My toes are right at the end of the shoes, but the toe box is wide enough. My Shimano shoes are a 41 and are a bit too wide for me.

One of the reviews I read complained about the heel coming out of the shoe. Perhaps this is a design flaw.

Interesting! I've narrow heels and haven't noted this, but it is also possible my shoes are a bit small...
