Wide Cycling Shoes

I have wide feet myself and started with a Specialised wide fit SPD SL shoe. They did me sterling service. I have now moved onto Lake, still using a Specialised BG fit foot bed and it is like cycling wearing your favourite slippers, only with a mega stiff carbon sole. Go try some shoes and you find ones that fit. A decent shop will be able to advise.

Suffering from wide feet myself I tried Shimano and Specialized, I ended up buying Mavic Avenir's. Very comfortable.

Specialized shoes typically come in 3 widths (wide, normal, narrow) but your retailer may not stock all of them. Sidi's Mega designated shoes are also wide (or maybe I should say wider since Sidi are notoriously narrow).

I had the same problem with Shimano even though they were two or three sizes too large. I tried the Specialised which were wider but settled for Northwave and have had no problems since.

Northwave, I have square feet as well, use them on the road and Spiuk for the MYB shoes, both wide fitting with a large toe box.

I'm a 41 as well with ridiculously wide feet (seriously, like flippers). I have a pair of the cheaper Specialized shoes at the moment and they're not wide enough for me. If you have properly wide feet, in my experience you can only comfortably get away with standard shoes if they are made out of lightweight materials and very flexible (so usually more expensive).

It would be worth hunting for wide fit styles, as they do seem to exist. Lake, Northwave and Sidi are on my list but I haven't got very far with it yet. Northwave tends to at least have a good range of prices. I'll let you know if I find something that works...

Failing that, if you find a pair you like that have some give in them but aren't quite wide enough, you might be able to get a cobbler to give them a stretch for you, which is what I do with normal shoes.

I am told Specialised shoes are relatively wide.
