EEE width MTB cycle shoes - where to get?

Sidi makes the Mega line which are wide but they are pricey.
Not quite $200 but close. I wear either a 14 or 15 EEE
depending on the shoe. I wear the Sidi Mega Dominators. I
had bought some Diadoras a few years back that fit okay but
had just a little more flex than my foot could handle. I was
having some foot trouble at the time. The Diadoras were
around $100. Not sure what else is out there. Lyle

Check out the Cannondale line. I have very wide feet, and have found their shoes to be very accomodating. They are also very comfortable off the bike as well as being very durable.
I have a pair that are 5 years old, and they are the most comfortable shoes I own.
I also wear custom orthotics, and there is no difficulty using them in these shoes.

I only get North Wave MTB shoes now, as they are the only
ones to be comfortable,(and seem to be very long lasting)
though there is only a limited range of makes locally to
try,so I've never tried Cannondale, and the SIDIs already
mentioned are beyond my price range.Buying Mail-order is not
really an option if you have wide feet IMO. Alan.

Shoes are one item I would never buy mail order, especially if you are hard to fit. My normal size for dress shoes or work boots is 11, but I have found with cycling shoes I need anywhere from 12 to 14 depending on the brand. There doesn't seem to be much consistency with their sizing.

Specialized Mtn. Sport or Comp are cut full and accomodate
wide feet. The Sport is stetchier.

I have very wide feet and am very happy with my Sidi Mega
Dominators.

They are wider than the regular Sidi Dominator shoe.

Thanks.

Sidis are going to set you back $200, but they're worth it.
Diadoras are the second best, not as nice as the Sidis, not
as wide, either, but you can find them for $60 or so.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions so far. I have tried
most of the brands mentioned, but I found them all to
narrow. It looks like shoes can vary from model to model,
from year to year, even sometimes from shoe to shoe!

I am currently using an old pair of Nike Air Amasa (think I
spelled that right). They are very wide in the right places
for me. They also have the cleat mount set to the inside of
the shoe, allowing more clearance between the crank and shoe
(not the thing for fans of low
Q). They do have laces, and are not really performance
oriented, but they fit. Alas, they stopped making these
some years ago. Current shoes from Nike are very narrow.

Looks like I may have to go with the Sidi Mega shoes. I
guess I'll try a pair on, and start saving my $$$.

Try Lake MX220-X. I recently got a pair of Lake wide road
shoes for my duck feet and they fit fine. Lake size 47 seems
about equivalent to Sidi 46.5 mega.

Also look at Specialized BG shoes, if you haven't already. I
find the toe box of the Pro Road shoe as wide as on the SIDI
Mega (size 42 for both).
