Quoc Phams are quite wide and being leather wear in nicely.

Get a toe or two removed from each foot...?

Ive got a pair of Giro Pirate (I think I've had them a few years now). I still needed to pack them out with pairs of socks to widen them a bit.

Are they SPD compatible?

Yeah, mountain bike specific with recessed cleats for practical usage when off bike. I think.

What size are you Reg?
I have a pair of SLR (don't know the make TBH) sized at 9.5 UK. Black/silver-mainly black.
They are quite wide -too much for me! And they have the ratchet type fastening with two Velcro under that.
If you think they would be any good, let me know and you can have them for free. Brilliant condition, obviously.

Oh, and they take either cleat combination.

I have very broad feet and find Shimano MTB shoes usually fit ok. I tend to buy 11 but I am really a 10.5 if measured correctly

Thanks for the offer but I'm anywhere between an 11 and 13 - depending on the make of shoe.

Still not as bad as my nephew - he's a size 14 to 16.

Shame that, no problem.

Must be hard getting size 16's. And more expensive too.

Hmmm you said Quocs don't make your size. I'm a very wide 12 and they fit me fine.

I was going to say Shimano MTB or touring, or Northwave, and buy a size or two too big.

That's easy when your feet are wide and very short (UK size 6.5, and I'm about 6' tall). Less easy, I suspect, if your feet are long as well as wide. I think I'd be looking at custom-made, to be honest!

@RedRider has a pair a bit like that.

Mine are more orangey to match the bike.

Giro Rumble VR are wide fitting mtb shoes with laces so highly adjustable. Look like trainers, they're my wear for work all day shoes cos trainers are fine at my work.
