Shimano SPD sandals

If you have a pair of these, could I ask what's your normal UK shoe
size, and then your size in the Shimano sandals? I think the size
marked on the sandals doesn't correspond well with reality.

My SPD sandals are marked 45.46.

I'm usually a size 10 UK.

I find them pretty much in line with other cycling shoes for size
although a bit more forgiving as your toes can hang out the end. FWIW I
take the Size 47/11 which is my normal shoe size.

My normal UK shoe size is 8 1/2. My size 43 Shimano trainer-style shoes
are a good fit. My size 41.42 Shimano sandals are slightly too small.
They're quite usable for cycling, but rather uncomfortable for walking in.

If you have long, narrow feet. If, on the other hand, you have wide
feet, your toes will finish several inches short of the end of the
soles...

Someone really ought to make cycling shoes for English-shaped feet.

You are supposed to bind your feet from birth to fit the shoes, not make
the shoes to fit. Whatever next!

My feet are 42 (8) extra wide. My sandals are 43-44, they are ok (never had
any foot pain riding and I can walk all day in them).

But they are slightly too long and my little toe is all but hidden by the
front strap which I feel is worng. I need to buy a new pair and I'm going to
try the 41-42's on again to see if they are OK, last time they seemed too
short, this time I will remember to push my foot well back when trying them
on.

I have short wide feet. My usual UK shoe size is 4 and a half in sandals, 5
in shoes, that's 37 and 38 in metric. The Shimano sandals marked 37/38 were
too small, the 39/40 were fine. By too small, I don't mean that my toes or
heels hung off the end, they didn't. What I mean is that the hump that goes
under the bottom part of the toes was too far back, partly under the ball of
the foot. The 39/40 sandals are a lot longer than my feet, but that size
puts all the shapings on the sandals where my feet need them. I think that
the distance between the ankle strap location and the toe ridge is short,
not the overall length of the sandals.

About £60 everywhere I think. They were reduced a bit in a winter sale at
Settle cycles, so I got my Mum to buy me a second pair for Christmas, as my
first pair are showing a lot of wear and cracking from 2.5 years of daily
use.
