A good indication that you have big feet is when people stare...
Try some shoes on, see what fits.

If I try a pair of shoes, if the shoes are for narrow feet and I have wide feet, will I be able to tell?

If you have nerve endings in your feet that terminate in close proximation to your brain, you should be able to figure it out..........


Seriously though, if you normally require wide "everyday" shoes then I would suspect that to be a good indication that you will require wide cycling shoes as well.

Surprisingly, I m aware about different type of feet after I read Sidi makes narrow and wide feet shoes.

Anyway, which part of the foot that will determine if I have narrow/wide foot?

Well, I would think it's the "widest" part of your foot. Here in the States, if you wear "D" width, that is considered normal, more or less. If you wear an "E", "EE" or "EEE" width, that is a wide foot. Not sure how shoes are sized in your part of the world.

Hope that helps.

Go to any shopping centre, Athletes Foot Shops will measure the size and width standing in a machine for free.
Size is a number, eg: 5, 6, 7, 8.
Width is a letter: A, B, C, D, E, EE, EEE, EEEE.

Ask if the size they give you is UK, USA, or Aus and ladies or Gents, as they are all different. It will depend on the machine they use.


I once went to a "leading" sports shop, they measured my size in a UK machine and then tried to fit me with shoes in the US size, they did not now there was a difference. I did not buy any shoes there.

another easy way is to try on a 'normal width' pair of shoes in your regular size. If it is too long but not wide enough, you probably have wide feet.

Measure yourdelf in a shop. It has been a while since I have had to go through this ordeal. I am in the UK, and rather than finding the lettered sizes, I now just find "wide" or "extra wide". In the old school I was a G or H fitting (can't quite remember). It came to a heas the other day when getting some nbowling shoes, I am UK size 9 (us 10) - but had to get size 11's (US 12) to fit the width of my plates.
