Just out of curiosity Clubber – what ones have you ended up with?
Well…
My most comfortable ever shoes were a pair of Pearl Izumi Vapor 2 mtb shoes but the died after a couple of years and my search started again.
I found Spesh Comps good (more comfortable than the sports which felt narrower)
I currently have a pair of PI shoes for my road bike and a new pair of Shimano M086 for mtbing/cx – the M086 is noticeably wider/roomier than other Shimano shoes I’ve had though I don’t know if that’s this particular model or across the range.
In the past, I’ve also found Time and Carnac shoes to be good.
Brands that I’ve never found wide enough are Northwave, Nike and Sidi (though I’ve never tried their wide fitting sizes).
