Shimano shoe fit

[R600]

Looking to get some new shoes and my lbs doesn't have a lot of stock. i was thinking of getting shimano and was wondering what people thouht of the fit as i will be buying on line. i 'm a size 11 so will i be ok with 11s or should i go for a size bigger. i have no idea if shimano shoes are close to size stated. TIA

Bigger.
I normally wear a 45 shoe and have 46 MT(something) shoes. Mind I usually wear a 46 rigger style boot at work too.
Shimano do also seem to be quite narrow - just so you are aware.

Normal shoe size is 91/2 so went with a 10 on my summer Shimano shoes and they are spot-on.
Winter boots another size up to help accomodate a nice thick pair of socks

If you have wide feet steer clear of Shimano shoes.

that goes for a lot of cycling shoes. There's no substitute for trying them on.

Yup, Shimano shoes are a slim fit compared to say Specialized.
Go to your lbs and try a few pairs on for size.
Or buy a couple of sizes from Wiggle to try and return the ones you don't want

Would echo the slim fit of many cycling shoes and I found Shimano to be particularly so when looking. My normal size was too narrow, pinching my toes, and the next size up too big. Ended up with Sidi shoes which seemed to come out a bit wider than others I tried. If ordering online, just make sure of the return policy.

Shimano do a wide fit, i bought a pair and they are perfect, did buy one size up on my normal shoe size though.

Many of you have already said it, but I'll say it too - Shimano shoes tend to be quite narrow, and not over-generous in length either. I bought a pair of Shimano shoes online and they were too narrow for my feet, and probably a bit short on length too. I had to go up a size.

Best go up a size with Shimano shoes- I am a 10 but after trying them on on my LBS I bought 11's - they're supposed to be a snug fit & I have narrow feet anyway...

Mine are Shimano, and though I went up a size, I think perhaps they are too narrow, as after a long ride I get foot cramp - never in any other shoes I own, not even 5" stillies

If you have wide feet steer clear of Shimano shoes.

Even the wide fit ones ?
Have a pair of r087 45s in wide (same as my non wide dhb r1s) but
suspect you only get wide fitting on certain models.

I'm a size 11 or 12 shoe but have to buy size 13 Shimamo. If a buy Specialized a 12 will do; so I would advise that you buy at least one size up.

Thanks for the info. i would love to be able to try before i buy but my lbs does't have much of a selection and the next shop is 100 miles away. i think i'll try a size up and hope for the best

Which shoes do they do in a wide fit?
