edited March 2013 in Road buying advice
Thinking of getting a pair, will obviously try and find a bike shop that has some pairs so I can try and find the appropriate size.

Thing is, I have quite wide feet. At the moment I'm wearing the Specialized Comp Road Shoe in a size 44, and the width is fine.

Anybody have a pair and know if they are of similar width to the Comp?

Thanks Folks:)x

    The S-Works is based on a narrower racing last than the rest of the spesh shoes range (at least they feel that way), but the toe box is still reasonably wide. I was looking at the 2013's today in a shop and they are unavailable till June/July unless a shop has them in stock. the 2012 shoes are still available if you can find your size.

    Your best bet is to try them on. They are very comfortable for me!

    I've had the Comp and they were absolutely terrible for me,very tight. What everyone says about the Sworks tho is that they feel unbelivably comfy regardless of your feet shape. Still,I'm done with Specialized shoes,i have wide feet myself and found heaven with Sidi Genius Mega ( wich were Sworks's half price too...)

    I have wide feet and the 2012 S-works are the comfiest shoes I have found. I take a UK7 normally but am a UK8 in S-works.

    I tried on a new pair of the 2013 S-Works but found them far too soft and offered no support in the arch area, I have flat feed and find the red specialized insoles really suit me but the new S-Works just didn't feel as good as the 2012 model.

    Some stores still have the 2012 models in stock, I bought another pair last week for £130 delivered new from cyclestore online.
