I usually use eu44 in bike shoes due to fat as feck feet, and bike shoes always being too narrow. This is annoying, esp if you ride a 51cm frame, as you can then get unnessersary toe overlap. Also, I often find the balls of my feet are often wider than the stiff sole, reducing comfort and power transfer when hammering the pedals.
I am now a Northwave convert, they fit perfect (come with extra insoles if you need them), and with the adjustable cleat holes you can dial in your Q-factor. I can honestly say that they have improved both my speed and enjoyment.
(Sorry about the boring post, may be of use to someone)
Bought the Northwave Areator 3 SBS's.
