Looking for help with shoes. I have read the various threads on the topic, and have yet to find a solution.
I have a mid/high arch, normal/narrow heel, and wide toebox (I measure my feet as 275mm long x 107mm width). Standard fit shoes that I have tried are too narrow, and wide shoes are either too high volume or not wide enough. I love the feel of Giro Empires, but they are way too narrow. I couldn't get comfortable in wide Bonts, no matter what I did I felt like my foot was implanted in a brick. The sizing of wide Lakes was pretty good, but I don't love the idea of real leather shoes in Chicago weather, and no matter what I did I couldn't get a good heel hold. Sidi Mega is way too much material.
The best I have found to date are S-Works 6 in wide, but they're not wide enough & still cause a squished toe feeling & discomfort at the widest part of my foot, base of pinky toe.
The only shoes I can think of that I have not tried yet are Shimano. A bit hard, shops don't really carry a broad selection anymore, especially in wide. I am looking for both road & mtb shoes. If anybody has any recommendations or thoughts I'd love to hear it.
