I need some advice from you seasoned vets out there with regard to various brands of cycling shoes and fit. I have rather wide feet and need a shoe with a large toe-box, and am finding that most cycling shoes to be rather narrow in the front with little height in the toe-box. I ride a hybrid with SPD pedals, so I'm looking a for a new mountain or general purpose style shoe, not a true road shoe, and need some ideas on which brands of shoes would likely be more accomodating of my duck-like feet? I tried on a Cannondale shoe that was on clearance at a Performance store, and for a woman-specific shoe, it seemed very roomy, but was at least a size too big.
Oh, and before anyone asks, my primary reason for not going with a men's shoe is that they are typically too wide in the heel. The Shimano shoe I have now is a men's and even that feels narrow, even tho my foot only measures a C width. I just ordered a pair of women's shoes from Performance and they are too narrow too.
