Hello,

I've got a pair of MAvic Galibier and after pushing a high gear I've noticed that my feet start to feel squashed. What shoes cater for people with wide feet. Ideally something that weights roughly the same as http://www.mavic.com/en/product/footwea ... r/Galibier

    Personally, i use specialized shoes.... they tend to have a wider toe end in them than many others i have tried.

    Suggest you try Northwave they have a nice wide fit.

    There was a thread on here late last week which suggested that Northwave produced the widest fitting shoes.

    Yes to Northwave but you can't beat trying them on in a shop to get a perfect fit

    Some manufacturers also have wide versions (Shimano for one) but don't advertise this or encourage shops to stock them. Why, I have no idea since there seems to be plenty of cyclists who need wide shoes. In any case if you see a style you like, possibly even the Mavic, ask your LBS or the manufacturer if they offer wide sizes.

    I have Specialized Road. They are quite wide and have a large toe box - OK for square feet. They are probably an H fitting. Wish I could find trainers that wide...

    Maybe i should start a new thread - "what trainers as wide as Specialised cycling shoes?"
    100% ME!
    Do you think I would be this bad on drugs?

    I have wide troll feet and have no problems with Bontrager shoes. Not the prettiest but comfy / hardwearing.
