I've really been enjoying my Specialized 2FO shoes for around town. Fit is forgiving and the insole supports well. Smitty in DC On Sunday, August 27, 2023 at 7:24:09 PM UTC-7 J wrote: > Forgot the profile. Specialized Recon ADV > > On Sunday, August 27, 2023 at 10:21:35 PM UTC-4 J wrote: > >>

Try on a pair of specialized recon 1.0. I have similarly wide feet and my recons feel great.

I ordered a batch from Competitive Cyclist. Shipped all but 1 back. Easier than ordering/returning and repeating, but it was an interesting credit card bill. TedOn Aug 21, 2023, at 11:18 AM, 'Kurt Henry' via RBW Owners Bunch wrote:Ted, maybe I should reconsider Sidis?  I had a pair 15+ years ago

I'll 2nd the Five Ten Freeriders as being pretty wide for a standard width shoe but they are not " proper cycling shoes I mean something that takes a cleat " as Eric specified. There are plenty of wide fitting flat pedal shoes that one could wear on a bike. We're looking for something

Hi, I have wide feet too. I have the Adidas Five Ten Freerider Pros for bike-riding and they are the best cycling sneaker I have ever had. Wide shoes are still surprisingly hard to find. I also really love my Danner boots and Rancourt shoes, both in wide sizes and made in the USA. Michael

I have 10.5 feet. Ducks follow me around as if I'm their leader. Birkenstocks fit me well, but otherwise, I have to seek out wide-specific shoes. I can also stand on one foot until I'm tired or bored, so super wide feet do have their advantages! I'm in the process of getting the last few

Ted, maybe I should reconsider Sidis? I had a pair 15+ years ago that I never gelled with. My feet have changed since, so I should be open minded. The great part is that availability is about to become less of an issue. QBP has picked up distribution: QBP takes over US distribution of

I started with the Lakes, which are very good. But after some trial and error (and a spat of ordering 7 different shoes shipped to home and returning 6), I’ve settled on the Sidi’s. Not the classic leather look by any stretch, but wider than the widest Lake’s by my feet and feel. Pluses for

Thanks for the notes, everyone. Ted: By proper cycling shoes I mean something that takes a cleat and lets you fit your big old EEE in there comfortably. I haven't tried any clipless pedals but I've been curious. Part of my research has been seeking out an appropriate shoe. Watching your foot

Eric, I've recently been on a similar search. My feet are wide, though not overly so. The bigger issue for me is that after a few years of wearing exclusively foot-shaped shoes, such as Birkenstocks, Lems, and Altras, and wearing Correct Toes to help with Morton's Neuroma, my feet won't
