In Campers, Brashers (casual shoe brands I use) and Asics sports shoes size 45 fits me fine. WIth Shimano cycling shoes I needed 46.
But to avoid repeating the buyer's remorse I experienced in spades with this purchase, I went to Condor, tried on shoes recommended by the salesman for someone with wide feet, disregarding brand name and appearance, and cycled off happily in Northwaves (size 45). A much wider shoe than others at that size, and nothing like as light or as solid an attachment to the pedal as the Sidis (which technically are superb), but at least now I don't think about or notice the fit while cycling.
So as I warned in my original post - Be sure you know this is the size you want!
