Ahhh, no. I have size 7 feet, but quite broad. I have a pair
of Specialized Rockhopper Comp shoes, size 9. They're OK on
a ten mile ride but on a longer ride they hurt my feet like
hell because they're too narrow (and because the 'Body
Geometry' wedge _really_ doesn't work for me). I have a pair
of gorgeous SIDI leather boots in size (I think) 7 (nothing
legible inside them now, but about 1.5cm shorter than the
Specialized) and they fit like gloves and are supremely
comfortable.
SIDI make more than one width. I don't know how to tell
which are the 'wide' SIDIs and which are the 'narrow' SIDIs,
but the wide SIDIs are much wider (and, for me, more
comfortable) than Specialized. And SIDIs are _so_ much
better made.
