Wanted: Size 43 cycling shoes

I'm closer to an 8 than a 9 but wear 43s in a utility/touring shoe like Northwave or Shimano MTB, I've two pair of carbon soled Shimano road shoes both are 44s, I found DMT came up short as well and narrow in fact.
When trying on shoes try to do it after you've been on your feet for a while, that's when they are at their biggest. I can cope with a shoe that's a tad too big, snucking them down does the trick, ones that are too small are a nightmare, there's nothing you can do short of cutting them up to 'open' them up.
