  • I just went to the big Evans near Gt Portland Street. Really small selection available - all Shimano, Garneau or Specialized - nothing like the range online. It looks like they are dropping lines as the Giro, Bontrager and Bont options on the web site are shrinking. Could be just the end of the 2013 year models. Not sure.

    I've got hugely wide feet am looking to replace my dying Sidis 47 megas with something else. I ordered some wide fit Lakes and will report back once they rock up.

    My Lakes arrived last week. These are the Lake MX236C in a Wide fit. I recall ordering at 47 but they showed up as a 48. So far I am extremely happy with the fit.

    They are hugely wide - cut much better than Sidis and significantly better than any Shimano or Specialized ones I have worn. I have enormously wide feet (12/H width UK/ 13 EEEE in USA) and these are by far the most comfortably I have tried on. The outer is actual leather so they will stretch a little which will eliminate a couple of the tight spots.

    As to length, the 48s should be too long but strangely my toes are in just the right place. The BOA system is quite cool as well and everything fits quite snugly. I'm used to going long on length to get the extra width so I end up wearing out cycling shoes with heel rub. These are just spot on for me.

    Look like last year's model so less than full RRP and a crabon sole to boot. Very, very happy.
