I searching for a wide cycling shoe for commuting (mostly) and long distance
touring. My wide feet do better with wide shoes.
Currently, I'm using a wide Shimano road shoe while riding my road racing
bike and a wide Lake mountain bike shoe on my commuter. I don't like the
Lake shoe for commuting because it has a cumbersome combined lacing, large
flap, 3 strap velcro closure system. I also don't like it because is has a
very aggressive tread that makes it hard to but shoe covers over for when
it's wet and or cold. They also look weird to non-cyclists.
I am looking for a shoe for commuting / touring with these attributes:
1. Available in wide width
2. Looks somewhat like a "normal" athletic / running / walking shoe.
3. Relatively simple closure system - simple lace-up or just 1 or 2 velcro
straps
4. Non-aggressive tread similar to typical walking or running shoe, no
spikes
5. Comfortable for walking or hiking a bit.
I have searched extensively for such a shoe without success. Does anyone
have any suggestions?
