Does anyone have any information about the different widths of the shoes like Exos and S-Works 7? I couldn’t find anything on the website and contacted a couple of online retailers and they didn’t have any information.
I currently use Wide Bont Helix but I wanted something a little more breathable to used indoors and that might work for triathlons.
Nothing ‘definitive’ or evidence based.
But from many other threads the view seems to be Specialized has got narrower in the past couple of years. (I was looking for new shoes earlier this year, I’ve used Specialized happily years ago bl for mtb, but all the vibes were they’d got tighter in the past couple of years.
(I went for Lake wide fit in their Competition last and am V happy).
Very few shoe manufacturers post actual widths. Lake, Bont, and DMT are the 3 I can recall offhand. Shimano doesn’t post width, but they have said that their wide (really, high volume) versions have about 5-6% greater girth in the uppers than the regulars. Specialized hasn’t posted any info that I can recall.
I was a wide in Bonts (Zero+ model) and just got the new S-works Vent. The S-works is nice and wide in the toebox. Wider than the Gaerne, LG, and Bonti shoes I have had in the past. I believe the Exos is made with the same last
If they got narrower, then they must have been really wide before
Do you mid sharing what size did you get and how wide are your feet?
Size 43.5. Width with socks and no weight, ~106mm. Putting some weight down, ~110mm.
Fizik also has a pretty good chart but it they don’t have many of their shoes in wide and tend to be a little narrow.
Size 43.5. Width with socks and no weight, ~106mm. Putting some weight down, ~110mm.
Thanks. That is pretty close to me. I’m at 27 mm x 110 mm without socks with weight down. A 43 Vento might work but an 43 Wide Exos might be even better, if I can find one of those anywhere.
