Aroogah-
Yeah they seem so comfy it's amazing, and I got them very cheap due to being a mega total sasquatch :) What pedals/cleats do you use? No issues with the shoes rubbing the cranks?
@mdcc_tester thanks, presumably a bad idea with pedals not designed to accept the washers?
I'm not wedded to Keos, if other pedal/cleat systems would let me get enough lateral movement...

I recently got a used pair of Lake CX402 shoes, wide fit. They feel absolutely amazing, lovely and wide and comfy.
I fitted Look Keo cleats, following the Steve Hogg/Scherrit process. Tested them out on my bike with Exustar Keo pedals. The inside of both shoes rub heavily on the crank arm. The cleats are on straight.
Moved the cleats as far towards the inside of the shoe as possible, got a tiny bit of clearance on one shoe, but the other is still rubbing a lot.
This isn't an issue with my other shoes (Bont Riot and Bont Blitz). Guess it's a combo of the width of the shoes, the lack of lateral adjustment on Look cleats and where the holes are drilled on the shoes...
Are pedal washers a terrible idea? Are other road cleat options better for lateral adjustment? Speedplay the only one?
Cheers!
