• I ordered some Sidi Eagles that turned up today. They felt alright trying them out in the house but I felt like my feet were spilling over the edge of the hard sole. That's probably not good is it?

  • No, that's a bad sign.

    I had a lot of trouble finding shoes which fitted decently to my wide feet. Luckily my LBS offered to let me return shoes if I only tried them on the house.

    After a couple of goes I found that the wide fit version of Northwaves work well for me. They are expensive though, especially if you go for the speedplay version.

    The usual advise applies, to wear football socks when you try them on in the shop.

  • I might try Northwave next! Has anyone tried the Rebel? What are the other go to brands for the wide flippered rider? Bont and Lake both look a bit sports direct...

  • I ordered a pair of Northwave Rebel 2 and they fit pretty well, thanks for the recommendation! First impression is pretty good, they seem well made enough. They're quite hard to get on and off would be only initial criticism, the lace part doesn't seem to be as long as it is on the Fizik or Sidi shoes I tried before so I've got to properly stuff my foot in.
