Lake shoe sizing?

Cats Eyes

I'm looking at buying these Lake shoes which are on sale.

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lake-cx235c-road-cycling-shoes/

I've read that Lake shoes are a tight fit. I currently use size 44 Diadora shoes & hope someone here can tell me whether a size 45 in the Lake shoe would be the equivalent of a 44 in a Diadora shoe?

Cheers!

Lake do come up small, but it aAll depends on foot width as well - it's impossibe to say one manufacturers shoe in one size is the same as another in a different size. The only way to find out is to try some on, either at a local shop or buy and try (and return if no good).

Lake are hardly a tight fit.

I take UK size 11 and the two pairs of Lake shoes I've got are size 47.

Ahhh...............you realise size 47 is a UK 12 right?............Which means you went up a size!

Could this be because they were a bit 'tight'

I interpreted the 'tight fit' comment as a generalisation about how the shoes fit. I agree that with Lake shoes you do have to go up a size, but how many other brands of cyclic shoes will match the sizing of your normal shoes/trainers?

The answer for me is none that I've tried.

I have quite wide feet (although not wide enough to warrant wide fit), and the Lake shoes fit better than any other brands that I've tried.

I am size 9 in shoes, 44.5 in Lake CX401. They are not as narrow as Sidis.
