• New mtb, new me.

    What flat downhill type shoes are there with super wide toe boxes (bont/vivobarefoot/etc style) any any good?

    So far I found some fizik that look the right shape but I’ve always found them to be too narrow generally (in road shoes & spds)

  • I don’t think such a thing exists but I’d be very happy to be proven wrong.
    Broad feet and a high instep combined with Morton’s neuroma in both feet has made my shoe choice tricky to say the least.
    I wear Lake* wide fit road shoes but I’ve struggled to find any flat pedal mtb shoes that have a proper wide fit toe box.

    The best I’ve found and what I ride in currently is the Shimano GR5 flat pedal mtb shoe. It’s certainly wider than five tens which are comically narrow.

    I’ve been meaning to email madison to ask if they do any of the mtb shoes in wide fit. My GR5’s are an EU47 but they could be perfect if they came in the wide variant.

    That's odd. I have wider than average feet, which require a wide Lake shoe for clipless, but the Five Ten Freeriders fit me fine

    The Freerider Pros, however, are quite a bit narrower and hurt my feet after an hour or so
