I appreciate the info...however...$1200-$1500 is a bit unrealistic of a price. I'm sure they are great shoes, but my talent can't justify that price.

If it's mainly forefoot width you're seeking, Bonts are shaped more like a real foot than most other brands. It's so nice to be able to wiggle your toes as needed.

Lake makes wide tri shoes. I have two pairs of the TX 222 Wide.

I think I have finally found bike shot that are wide enough to handle my feet swelling on long rides. I did get road cycling shoes, not tri shoes. They are Lake wide. I paid attention to the sales on Backcountry and got them at a good price.

Yep, Lake and Bont are great options for wide feet. Best of luck!

Specialized widest foot I've tried.

Here's my hierarchy in case it's useful to anyone (I've tried all of the shoes below)

Narrowest -> Widest

• Specialized Wide
• Shimano Wide
• Sidi Mega
• Lake Wide
• Bont Wide
• Simmons Custom :)

I have wide feet and tried Bonts, never felt quite right and I molded the sole several times.

Ended up in a pair of LG Course Aire Lite's and liked them so much I grabbed a pair of the LG Tri-400s.

Really like them, now if I can train them to be really open for flying mounts... wide feed don't play well with that either.

It took me getting really "medieval" on my Bonts to finally make them perfect for my high arched feet. We're talking the use of a high temperature heat gun, substantial forming tools and very high pressure application. The oven heat recommendations from Bont just didn't cut it. Now I really love them.

As a fellow wide footer, one of the best shoes I've used over the years was one pf the original LG Tri shoes, back in like '04. They were awesome for me for years until the soles eventually cracked (nylon sole, after like 8 or 9 seasons, I also had a pair of road shoes that i was using for road racing and non-brick training from '08 onwards. I am currently in Diadora's tri-shoe, not a great fit for a wide foot, it gets the job done, but I get toe numbness for longer rides. Looking at options to replace them... may go back to LG...

Like the others are saying. Bonts are the way to go. I'll never use another.

I had some Lakes but they were pretty low end (but worked)

The Northwave Tribute is super wide and my trainer shoe (which sees 100% of my training).

I race on the Northwave Extreme and its a little tight, definitely not wide like the Tribute.

In agreement here save a switch on the Bont and Lakes, this is in a 47.

Lakes are a also more comfortable shoe for me than the Bonts as the heel counter on Bonts is too high and stiff. They do soften up over time, but I personally do not like that much rear foot control in an upper with cycling shoes.
