Looks very nice.

Very BLING! Looks like you are about to go for a moon walk!

I have in the past ordered 4 pairs of cycle shoes from wiggle in different sizes. Try them all on, send back ones that don't fit. If they still have zero cost returns policy for shoes it is a good way to find the right size

[Goldwolfie]

When you doing it @Goldwolfie? I may join you for a few warm up miles, or at least cheer you on.

Jim - I've been a bit busy so I'm planning on about 1840 so if you fancy a laugh when you finish your ride with Whorty, tune in.

Anyone here have really wide feet and able to recommend some wide fitting cycling shoes? I had a follow up bike fit this morning . The bike fitter identified post ITB patella issues arising from strain due to a move to speedplay pedals post original bike fit and choice of shoe. He tried to fit my cleats so center between 1st and 5th metatarsal. Unfortunately he could not fit them far enough back because the drillings on my Specialised BG shoes do not extend back far enough. The reason? I had bought a sise too big, and so too long, so that i could accommodate my absurdly wide, fallen arched feet. They may be comfortable but with cleat too far forward i was putting too much strain on knee that i then dealt with by lowering saddle and so I need to replace them. The shoes not the knees! Recommendations warmly received.
Arione saddle/seatpost up 19mm, flattened out a bit-it was nose down 5mm- and bars rotated down stretching me out even more from what was already a semi aggressive position. Advised to go back with new shoes and get some custom soles to correct the pronation and will not charge for the final retul fit once all these things done.

I'll pretend I understood all of that!

Ive got shimano R171 shoes which are wide, but they also do "normal" so be careful, quite comfortable but i got a size too big so my feet slip forward slightly.

I thought Shimano shoes were always under size and you have to go 1 size larger or more?

 

[AAAC 76C]

Absolutely DP.
I am ordering the RC7's- confusingly called rc 700 in wide- into my local Evans to try on.

They would give me a headache if I spent to much time looking down wishing the pain was over and the stage finished.
