I'm in a 48 Carnac TRS6 that is bit too tight on one foot causing Mortons Nueroma symptoms, not good. I wore out a pair of 48 Comets recently that fit great, perhaps its just the TRS6 design. Got a bike shoe recommendation for a 48(+) foot?

I find the SIDI T-1 very comfortable. A size 48 fits my wide feet (13EE).

funny how everyone has different comments about different shoes - I wear a 4E 9.5 in asics, and found the sidi genius 4 mega's not that fantastic. My shimano tr-01's are perfect; although I am wearing them without socks which really sucks as it got cooler...

I was out at the running store last night trying on shoes, about 15 pair, everything from a 12D-15D from a 12.5 EE -- 13.5 4E...quite a range on how the respective shoes companies size their shoes. Wonder if its the same with bike shoes.

I agree with one post / report ,that Sidi bike shoes run about 1/2 size bigger that the Euro to US size charts shows . I have had great luck at sales or online, with shoe sale of 60-80% off on large sizes. I just found some 48 Sidi Mt. bike shoes at $30.

If you need a tri shoe bigger than a 48, you're out of luck. The Carnac's seem to run the widest of the shoes on the market right now; maybe you could try a different (newer) model. Another option is the Sidi Dynamic which comes in sizes up to at least 50 and although it's a road shoe, it has straps similar to a tri shoe (open out).
Good luck with your search. I'd be interested in how it turns out...

Try Rocket 7's they make custom shoes fairly resonable too all things considered.I've had to use them for a few customers.

I have had a lot of luck with the sidi genius version 3 and 4. I wear a size 15 (US) running shoe, and the fit of the size 50 sidi is great with an orthosis inside. Without the insert, I might need to go down to a 48. They are not, however, "tri-shoes".
Random thought for today: I just learned that orthosis is proper term for what we all call an orthotic. You put an orthosis in your shoe. Orthotic is the adjective. In a sentance, we could say that "Philbert is a gigantic goon with canal-boat sized feet and bad arches/pronation who required orthoses made in an orthotic lab so he is not hobbled by achilles pain."
This has absolutely no relevance to anything but I just thought I would share. Thank you for reading.

Specialized makes a tri shoe to 14. I'm a 15 in running shoes but can usually get away with a slightly tighter cycling shoe. Nike 14s have always worked for me as well. Their toe box is well shaped to fit my crazy 2nd Mortons toe.
