    I've always had a bit of trouble fitting cycling shoes. I have long,
    yet very low volume, feet and can never find a pair of shoes that give
    me that snug, "fits like a glove" feel. If I go down a size, I get my
    snugness but they're too short and my toes get squished up at the front
    of the shoe. If I go up a size, the length is right but there's a bit
    too much room.

    So far the closest to proper fit I've found are Sidi. Length is fine
    but just a wee bit too roomy for my taste. Does anyone here have any
    "tricks" to take up some extra room in the shoe? I don't want to wear
    overly thick socks... How about placing an additional, very think
    insole to take up some extra room?

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    These will fit like a glove:

    A bit more expensive than the Sidis though ;-)

    Have a pair (Don was good enough to make good on some shoes I bought
    when he was last in business), and they're an outstanding pair of
    shoes. They're custom, so they fit very well obviously. Just depends
    on whether it's worth the $$$ to you. Compared to any "off the shelf"
    shoes, it was worth it to me. Well that and it was a gift from the ex
    gf 6 years ago, that I got 7 months ago.
