Who has extra wide feet? What shoes do you ride in? If I had more cash or a rich husband, I would custom make the rocket 7:-) But in the meantime, I would like ideas…
I have the shimano shoes now and tried the crnacs. Need something wider. ideas?

My feet are 2E width and I use Supergo Carbon Revel shoes. When I told them I had wide feet, those were the ones they recommended. I’ve put about 2000 miles on them without a problem.
Somebody asked the Outside magazine “Gear Guy” the same question.

Who makes cycling shoes that don’t feel like tourniquets?
Ergo
(courtesy, Diadora) I’m just starting to get back into road cycling and am in the process of building a bike. One of my last items to buy is shoes, which I’m holding off on because I have a really wide foot. Are there brands that I should try or stay away from? When I last had a road bike I had some Sidi’s, and I remember that they were close to torture.

Buying good bike shoes can be a pain—literally. Most of the good ones are very, very European in origin, and tend to be narrow to a fault. They can even be snug on me, and I have a slightly narrow foot. Two of them, actually.
Still, good bike shoes—not touring or casual bike shoes—are important. High-end shoes have extremely rigid insoles, which A) transfer a lot of power to the pedals, rather than wasting energy by bending, and B) help protect your foot from discomfort caused by the little cleats that are popular these days.
So, which shoes? As always, you’ll need to try a few pairs to decide conclusively, but these days several high-end shoe makers have wide sizes available, so you should be able to find a pair that fits. An example: the Carnac Quartz ($250; www.carnac-sport.com), a nice-looking shoe with a stiff, light carbon sole and convenient four-strap hook-and-loop closures. I wore Carnac shoes for years, and think they’re excellent.
Sidi—your past shoe nemesis—also has shoes in wide sizing. They offer “mega” sizing on some shoe models including the Genius 4 ($210; www.sidiusa.com), a very popular shoe that has a ratcheting compression strap and two hook-and-loop straps for a very secure fit. You can find them on sale for $159 at some locations such as Colorado Cyclist, although size availability is limited.
Finally, while Diadora’s shoes come in only one width, I’ve found them to be a little more forgiving than Sidi’s or Carnac’s standard width. You might take a look at the Diadora Ergo ($149; www.diadora.com), a decent road shoe at a decent price.
oh that helps a lot. thanks! I will look into all, the problem is ordering all those just to try them on…
Shimano R215 or R151, order the “E” width.
Does this qualify as high maintenance? 
How’d the pedal thing go?

yep! I guess!!! I biked 5:20 with the looks but the knee is really sore. I can’t have 2 different pedals. I will move the look cleat back a little, raise the saddle and try again. if the knee still hurts, I will switch back to speedplay.
I have EE feet and just bought some specialized “sport” road shoes off of the classifieds that actually fit really well. I forget what model they are but will look in a bit (I commuted today) and edit this.
Maybe the real problem is the shoes. DEfinitely raise the saddle if you keep the looks. Also, remember, different shoes have different sole thicknesses. This also effects saddle height.
Don’t Carnacs come in widths? Glory cycles used to have good prices on them.

I went on supergo website, they are now bought by performance/nashbar i guess.
Yeah, that’s right, but I did see a couple of months ago they still had some of those shoes. Not sure about now.
Carnacs are generally the recommended shoe for wide footed riders.
Shimano’s are also nice and roomy, with plenty of adjustability.
Diadora & Sidi build on the same last, so I’d stay away from Diadora, even though they may build out of more “forgiving” materials than Sidi.
Specialized are also very adjustable with different footbeds & such.
I wear a 10.5 EE running shoe and I’ve been using Sidi T1 tri shoes with the insole removed for years. Remember, bicycle shoes should be tight. Right now I have three pairs; the old floppy pair, the comfortable training pair, and the new tight racing pair. And, they all started out the same size.
I have wide feet and am very happy with the Shimano R215E. The “E” stands for the wide version. Excellent shoe and soon I will buy my 2nd pair as my first ones are through after 2+ years of heavy use.
good luck!
those are look compatible:

Those LOOK damned fast!!!
Anyone who tries to pass will fall over from the intimidation factor.
