I’ve just bought the Shimano MW7 in 46 but need to return them because they’re too narrow for my feet + winter socks at the toe box.
Lake winter boots are meant to be wider fitting so I’ve ordered a pair of Lake MX145 also in 46 to see if those work better. They won’t be as waterproof, but I’m hoping my Endura neoprene overshoes will fit on top when needed.
There’s also the Lake MXZ303/304 which look a bit more like they’re made for winter in Vermont.

Thanks I've been considering Lake, have heard they are wide fitting.
Those MXZ/303 look seriously heavy duty, defo got a bit of a Terminator/leather clad biker vibe!
But if they keep my feet warm I don't care.Good to know about the MW7's being too narrow.
My old road shoes were shimano but a specific wide fit designated 47E and they were great but it seems hard to find anywhere that keeps the wide fit versions in stock!I think I'm going to have to wait until the shops are open and I can try some on in real life.

I also ordered XL. Was tempted to go for the XXL incase they were tight with liners but even with liners the XL still feels nice.
Pretty happy with mine and likely to try a few more bits from Galibier.
Next thing I'd like to try sort is agonisingly cold toes. Two pairs of socks and overshoes over fizik R1's and I might as well be riding barefoot.
Any recommendations for wide fitting winter shoes welcome. Any brands that work well for broad feet?
Had to send back the size 11 and 12 planet x ones I bought a while ago.
