Wide cycling shoes....not all of us have small narrow feet. I couldn't find any LBS in the entire Twin Cities metro area (we are talking dozens and dozens of shops) that had a decent selection of wide cycling shoe in stock. While I know not as many shoe makers at least offer a wide option at least carry the brands/models that do exist in your store if you carry that brand. I don't want to be special ordering a shoe that I don't know will fit and be stuck owning it or paying a restocking fee.

I know this isn't a popular thing for LBS owner's but being able to barter parts you don't want on a bike is a huge plus (like say you don't want the stock wheels and upgrade to a nicer set). But, I understand that is a tough one as the goal is to make money in the end and not be holding onto inventory that you can't get rid of.
