Need help with road shoe fit
Hi,
I've had to buy a new pair of road shoes a full size larger so that I can wear a thick pair of socks to keep my feet warm during the winter. However, I was just watching a you tube video on road shoe fit and the bloke says that the shoe must fit snuggly. What do you guys say?

He won the Giro after that. Strange definition of finished. His career as a winner was finished by the crash in the Dauphiné recon.

thanks to all for the input.
I'll have a look at the heated insoles.
Big shug, I also have been wearing neoprene toe covers OVER by Windstopper overshoes! And still get cold toes.
I tried neoprene booties for the first time - no wind getting through those and toasty/sweaty feet in mid-Jan!
Have you looked at electrically heated insoles? I've never used them myself but Maplin's have them.
I already use thermal windstopper overshoes with my normal cycling shoes, a thermolite or thin merino wool sock, and a footwarmer insole but my feet still get cold. Hence the reason for purchasing a larger sized shoe to accommodate a thick wool sock. My foot is not floating around in the shoe but there is more room in the toe box. Just wondering if that's not good.
I had to buy the shoes from online retailer because cycle shops don't carry good quality women's shoes in a variety of sizes. Very frustrating finding women's kit!
Wow that's a problem. I'm told women's bodies keep heat close ro the core so often have cold hands & feet. Sounds like a case of if it feels good do it. May have to use loose fit in winter snug in summer
Should fit snuggly I cold weather use overshoes or specialist thermal cycling socks . Loose fitting shoe's can rub causing blisters etc
