Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I'm a recreational biker in the Gold Canyon area of Phoenix. I am looking for information from others who have wide feet. I really need to find new biking shoes, it seems all the biking stores carry are normal width shoes, these are all way to narrow for my feet. I've searched online and have found some possibilities. I really don't want to spend a lot of money on shoes. Any info or insight would be great. Thanks.

No luck, I am afraid. I have 4E feet and cannot find any shoes that fit. My current - and earlier shoes - all have slits cut into the sides to accommodate my platform feet. I have bought on-line 'wide' shoes but they are never as advertised.
It's pretty hot now in Phoenix, I can't imagine living there (but then I cannot imagine living where I do). I drive through Phoenix on my occasional trips to way to California and that is enough. Lovely state though, if only a little cooler. Friends have lived in Green Valley, very nice.

Some years back I purchased a pair of FIVE TEN FREERIDER CANVAS FR/Dirt shoes and they are good and wide (I have bunions both feet (both sides of one foot).
They are flat (not clipless/SPD).
No idea if still available but if not maybe a good brand to look at in more detail.

Was going to suggest 5:10 too. Mine are plenty wide and have lasted for ages (about 10 years).

Mine done 25,000 miles and no signs of wearing out.

Have you looked for hand-made shoes in custom sizes? They are available in the UK, although more often I think in leather. Probably easier to find though than h*****s where similar issues exist.
I recall, as a student almost 50 years ago, coming across a rider from another university, who had trained himself to do everything in bare feet because he could not get shoes for cycling, hiking or general wear at an affordable price. Obviously he used rubber pedals for the race in which we both competed.
