WIDE mtb shoes?
"news.internode.on.net" wrote in message news:X9adnUcBBJjyFWfanZ2dnUVZ_oytnZ2d@internode... Sidi dominator Mega is a wide fitting version of the Sidi shoe. I have a pair and they are definitely wider than the normal fitting. Nick I like my Sidi Dom5 Megas. They have stretched out a bit because of my heavy winter socks. So I will probably need to buy a smaller size (one notch down) for summer wear. My feet tend to spread out, because I have flat feet. J. |

Thsnks for the suggestions y'all - I went to local REI and checked SIDIs - they did not have Bullets2 in Mega size but they had Zeta which seems like a road equivalent. Zetas fit OK - although velcro straps were a bit on a short side. I may try to extend them somehow - maybe glue velcro patch to end so I can velcro a short extra strap on top. I got Bullets on order - as always nice thing about REI is you can return them at any point. |

Yes, there are, but the half-sizes are with respect to the general size of the shoe, not just the width. For the width alone, Sidi has two sizes, the "standard" and the "mega". |

So folks with wide flat feet (like myself) find the sole too narrow and the upper baggy. Joseph |

Joseph That's good news - I was given pair of Frankenstein bricks for feet - they are not flat - but proportional in every direction. The Sidis that tried at REI - Zeta, which I assume is road version of Bullet seemed nice - light, well ventilated and with upper shell looking like sth that could actually deform to accommodate your foot. They felt "slippery" inside - compared to to Shimano M31 - I hope that is just the impression you get when you walk in them/ |

And they seem well suited for "sausage feet" so they are probably going to be your best bet. I wouldn't rule out the Diadora Geko though. MUCH longer velcro, and not slippery like the Sidi. I had the same feeling about the Sidi (in addition to them not fitting). Joseph |

I will try to like SIDIs - that Zeta I tried at REI fit well - except slippery part. |

I happen to use Shimano T091, which I think is now T092. It's a shoe with recessed cleat and unlugged sole. They run wide and also will stretch a bit. |
