• Is this the shoe thread? I have some Empires that I used to get on with ok, but following a two year break now seem to cause pain like they're too narrow. Have done lots of running in the interim, have my feet flattened out?

    Anyway, what looks good and suits a slightly wider foot? Used to love my S-Works but the new ones are megabucks and I've got some cheaper Spesh that I'm not too into. Happy to spend a bit but I do love a bargain.

  • If your feet are very wide then you're likely to be looking at Bont or Lake. If you're just a bit wider than normal (I hear Giro empires are very narrow) then things like Shimano and Specialized are meant to be good.

    Well worth trying a few brands out via bike shops/friends/buying cheap used pairs and then selling them on if you think you might have difficult feet to find the right fit for.

  • maybe try Rapha in the sale and return if they don't fit?
