I after some SPD shoes for use on my road bike.
Was thinking of getting some MTB shoes as they are easier to walk on.
I have quite wide feet and seemingly bad circulation.
If the shoes are too tight I get really cold feet.
So what do you reccomend for my flippers?
Stick to swimming?
SPESH BG COMP
Yup Spesh BG. I have wide-ish feet and they are very comfy.
I have flat wide plates and I find Shimano road and mtb shoes to be a lovely fit.
thx guys
I have some old Shimano Mtb shoes that a very tight.
I will look at the Spesh BG shoes.
Sidi do a wide fitting on their shoes and it is properly wide!
other than that if you have stupidly wide feet then Rocket 7 will be your only option
Most European shoes are built on a thinner last, whereas American shoes are built on a wider last - hence why Sidi, Northwave, Shimano (although I know technically they are Jap.) are thinner than the likes of Spesh, Nike etc
Wide feet here, Spec are good for me.
lake do wide vertions of their range
Wide (and high) feet here.
Road: Spesh BG and Shimano R085 - the ratchet strap on the Shimano only just reaches but they're very comfy.
MTB: almost always Spesh, don't fit most Shimano MTB shoes but have found the MT90 boots fit really well.
I have tried on (but never ridden in) Sidi wide road shoes before. they felt like a great fit but the ones I was looking at were too expensive at the time. (What price comfy feet?)
THe shimano SPD walking boots (MT90 I think) work for me and my feet are almost as broad as they are long.
Edit - sorry road shoes - I use R085 or M086 on the road bike depending on whether it's a commute or a serious road ride.
These are nice 🙂
spesh as above but also pearl izumi
spesh or go a size up on shimano
I have just bought some Sidi Mega Range MTB shoes and they do th mega range in roadie shoes too. They are proper wide great for my size 12's. Like someone else has said if you want boots the Shimano MT91 boots are ace too.
Northwave are good for wide feet, they are slightly wider than Specialized BG shoes. Shimano are slightly narrower and SIDI are narrower again.
The only shoe I know that will be wider than Northwave are SIDI MEGA shoes. They are much wider than the standard sidi size, but only made for a few models.
Spesh - Go up a size on Shimano - DHB's are wide - Northwave are not too bad.
I am a G+ width fitting size 12 feet
another vote for Spesh BG here, add superfeet insoles for additional comfort - pricey but so worth it.....
Spesh
Shimano MP66
Not very roadie though 😆
