Wide Sized Road Shoes
I am trying to fit my 16 year old son with a pair of road shoes. He's got a wide foot and most vendors don't produce a wide model. I know the SIDI brand has Mega widths. Do any other companies offer a wide shoe (US 4E?) at a resonable cost? In the $80-100USD price range?
Thanks very much. Mark  |

Re: Wide Sized Road Shoes
Specialized shoes are wider than the average.

Re: Wide Sized Road Shoes
I have size 14 2E feet. I have been wearing the Sidi Genius shoes in the mega size and they seem to be plenty big for me. I even have a custom insole in them. Though they are on the expensive side.

I looked at Specialized shoes this week and was very impressed. The insole has a well developed metatarsal arch that should go a long way toward preventing foot soreness and possible nerve inflammation. They also market insoles for use in all cycling shoes. |

Re: Wide Sized Road Shoes
Sidis. That is all you need to consider. Get to a bike shop and try on a pair in a mega size that is in your price range. You simply cannot go wrong with them.

Re: Wide Sized Road Shoes
You can take a look on CARNAC models as well (in case You dont want to go for SIDI). They tend to be wider than usual SIDI (not sure about wide model of SIDI).

Re: Wide Sized Road Shoes
Carnacs are very nice also, good call, but at least here in Italy they are fantastically expensive.
