Hi all

I'm a standard UK size 9 (28cm) shoe, does anyone have any idea what size shoe I'd be if I bought Shimano (AM45's)? I've seen a few pairs on line so I can't try them on, I'm a little concerned as I've heard Shimano tend to come up a size or 2 small.

If anyone else is a 9 and has Shimano shoes, would you mind letting me know what size

cheers!!

    I've been a size 10 since 14 and now in my 40's............

    The only shoe of any kind I've had that's a different size is my 45's which are 11's but seem to come out as a slightly large 10 if that makes any sense.

    They are pretty spot on really. I waver between 10/11 so went for a 46 which is 10.5 and it was spot on. Incidentally when ever I can get 10.5 that's what I go for.

    I wear size 44 with Shimano, Sombrio, Salamon, Scott, Nike and Five Ten shoes if that helps any. I do have a pair of 45 Shimano's and they are definitely too big really, only have them because they were super cheap and I can wear several pairs of socks when it's really wet and cold.

    What NCN says. I'm a size 10 in every shoes, and the 46 is spot on (making shimanos half a size too small).
