Comfortable road shoes
I currently use a pair of Sidis which were my first shoe when I went clipped in from flat pedals. Although they look good, I don't think they're that comfortable - at all. I'm going to keep them as a second pair.
I'm looking for a pair which are REALLY comfortable. I'm thinking Shimano? Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance for all advice and criticism.

Just bought Giro Factors and they get my vote
Had achilles issues from the specialized ones and so needed something softer at that point, the only two that I found really comfortable were the Giro Factors and the Fizik R3.
Managed to get the Giro's for a steal at £125, so wasn't alot to think about
shimano shoes I found too narrow, as were my sidis. Spesh
bg ones are nice but my current favs for really comfy are
Lake.
I have been in your shoes as well being the same size feet, 13, I would recommend going to your lbs and trying out what you find comfortable it take time and for me it did take a lot of ordering shoes in my size and trying out, fir me I went for Specialed body Geometry road shoes .
Thanks!
I like the sound of the Giros but I don't think they do my size. I have size 13 feet.
Yup, you really can't gain anything from other people's experiences with shoes, as with saddles. Just get out and try a load.
Sidis are by far the most comfortable I've ever tried, but they don't work for you...says it all.
It's worth going to a shop though and trying them on. Feet vary a lot, as do shoes.
I really like my Giro Factors. Like wearing a slipper. A really stiff slipper made from carbon fibre.
