I really like the look of these shoes, but I struggle with getting (walkable SPD) shoes that are comfortable on me.

I find Specialized and Shimano shoes are too narrow and tight at the forefoot.
Only shoes I have found that are relatively comfortable are Northwave ones.
Does anyone here regularly use a pair of these?
