Going to purchase my first pair – remember trying some on a year or so ago and they were a good fit – trouble is I cant remember what size I tried on and wont be able to get out to a shop for a while.

I’m a natural 10.5, with a wide foot. Therefore I tend to have to plump for an 11 at times as they either don’t have a 10.5 in stock, or they are a bit narrow.
In order to save me the bother of having to send a mail order pair back, could you let me know your experience of sizing them?

I would yes.

Radical suggestion here…..

Why not try some on?

I use my normal shoe size for five tens, normally for cycling shoes I go up at least 1 sometimes 2 sizes.

Not many shops carry a full range of styles with a full range of sizes.

CFH – please read my post in full for your answer

They tend to be normal shoe sizes, go for the 10.5.

MSP / Y99 – thanks, the reason I asked was because i have an inkling that the pair that fitted me were my natural size. And like you I normally have to go up a size for cycling shoes.

I wear an 11 in ordinary shoes/trainers, Nike & salomon and 5/10s are an identical fit.

My 5-10s are the same size as my regular trainers, whereas for Shimano/Specialized I have to go up a full size.

Had missed the ‘for a while’ bit, apologies.

So, why not wait until you can! 😉

I’m a size 10.5 with wide feet. My five ten impacts are a 11.5 and fit great. I wouldn’t want them any smaller although I do tend to wear thick socks for riding.

Hope this helps.

I’m a 46 with wide feet, normally wear 11 or 12s in trainers, bought size 46 5:10s, perfect fit, so I would say no you don’t need to size up.

I’ve got 10.5 in impacts,& thought the same when I bought the new vxi’s,so I went to an 11!,& on reflection I didn’t need to,they’re a little bit too big,even with a pair of seal skins on top of my normal socks !.

Is try em on if I could !.

I had the same concern on width but went for my normal 8.5, fit great with medium thickness sealskins. VXI elements.

I wear men’s 5:10s and find I have to go up a couple of sizes. Probably 3 sizes bigger when wearing Sealskinz.
