I recently got myself a pair of Shimano M200's thrown in with my new Bike. All good except I seem to have fallen through the cracks when it comes to Shimano's sizing.
My feet are two big for size 47 and I can't get the 48 to stop moving around on my foot, no matter how tight they are. There seems to be a massive jump in sizes.
To cut a long story short I am trying to work out Scotts sizing as the LBS would be able to order a pair in but only if I am sure they will fit. And of course there are no other shops stocking Scott let alone in my size.
I was looking at the SCOTT MTB Shr-alp RS as an alternative.
I have quite narrow feet.
Any thoughts ?
I have size 50 feet and envy your trivial problems finding footwear.
Forget LBS for this - unfortunate but true. Go to a big online retailer and search via the filters - mtb/in stock/size - so for CR you currently have 82 different options, precisely 80 more than I do. Order a couple of pairs either size, try 'em on, send back the ones that don't fit free of charge.
Not sure if this link will work, [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shoes-cycle/shoes-mtb?f=2247,4294957818,4294952258,4294948289 ]but here goes[/url].
Yes...
But remember I have not paid for the M200's so buying elsewhere would mean me selling them.
Admittedly this would be a little easier, but I am not going to get the full value for them. Hence why I am trying to find out what the sizing is like with Scott shoes. If that's a non starter then I would go down the route of selling the M200's

I have wide feet.
More to the point though, Scott and Shimano shoes in 48 are right for me so I would suggest that the sizing is the same
Insoles, spacers, whatever to make fit adjustments if your feet are that different.
I badly broke my leg as a teen, the foot that side is just over a size smaller as a result, so most of my right shoes have some sort of extra fill.
Or what GHill said.
Don't Shimano shoes now come in a narrow and a wide fitting?
I might go with GHill's suggestion
