Mavic Avenir shoe sizing

sgbman

Bought a size 10, I'm usually a 9.
But still a bit of a snug fit, perhaps slightly narrow at the toe end.
Has anyone else got these, and could they tell me if give a little after wearing in. :?

I'm usually a 42 (or 265 mondopoint) and I'm a 42 in the Avenir, feel like slippers (well, like very firm snug slippers).
I haven't had much give in the upper yet.

I was looking specifically for the snug fit in the toe box they have (not touching the end and able to wiggle toes but not move the foot up and down!).

Perhaps you are a large 9.

I also have a pair of these Mavic shoes in UK 10 and they are plenty roomy enough for my size 9 feet.

I had the PROs. I'm normally size 8 but I had size 9 and they were too small round the toes. They were too shallow. They didn't give and I sold them. I now have Sidis size 44.5 which are about a size 8-8.5.

I tried some of those but found them too snug/shallow around/above the toe so got a refund.

I didn't ride in them so sorry I can't help with whether they give or not. I took the view they probably wouldnt so sent them back in time.

Just waiting for some Shimano R085 to arrive as were much more confortable but then I do have trouble getting shoes to fit properly.

I found the shimano shoes to be quite narrow and also a small fit, so be careful...

Thanks for the warning. I have tried them on though so am pretty confident they will be fine.

My size 11s fit my size 10.5 feet fine. I have done 200 miles in them so far and there does seem to be a little give.
