Bike shoe - Wide foot

Bont shoes tend to run quite wide (you need to heat mold them to fit your foot, so the fit is a bit love-it-or-hate-it).

Sidi makes very narrow shoes, but they now have a special wide version that is worth a look.

Shimano does as well

Depends on what you mean by "wider than average" ... would that be an E running shoe width or, say, a 6E?

The SIDI "Mega" width is *really* wide, possibly too wide for someone with just a somewhat wide foot. (I'm a men's 10, 6E and I wear SIDI Mega in 43.5). They are a fantastic shoe, really top-of-the-line, but pricey.

Another option is the Shimano MTB line (not sure what kind of pedals you have on your bike) ... they're practically sneaker-like, they're so comfortable. But again, if your foot is just somewhat wider than average and you have road pedals, regular Shimanos tend to run pretty wide in the toe box, and they're quite affordable.

It sounds like we have a similar foot, mines just a bit longer.  I am looking to buy clipless pedals / shoes so I am open to pretty much anything.  I am on a budget however, if I could spend $200 that would be great.

Northwave Tribute is said to be extremely wide in the forefoot area and is in your price range.  I wear NW, but not the Tribute.  I have 'normal wide' feet and they work for me.

If you're somewhat of a newcomer (heck I'm not but I'd still wear them), the Shimano M077 is a great entry-level shoe. You can get SPD-compatible (that stands for Shimano Pedaling Dynamic) clips and pedals for very little. Shoes + cleats + pedals can be gotten online for about $140. Less if you really hunt around for sales, but you'd probably pay the same in shipping if couldn't get it all from one website.

If you have a local bike store that's good and that you have a relationship with, I'd strongly recommend buying from them. It will be more expensive (though not that much) but, if you haven't gotten a professional bike fitting yet, it's really important, and the shoes/clipless pedal system is integral to that.

I have found  Shimano shoes run wide and in some of their road shoes they offer wide. I wear men's shoes to get more width and men's wide are wider.

Sidi Megs don't have enough volume for me but are wide
Bont were way way to narrow

LG tri shoes were okay when I bought them in 04 but new ones are more narrow.

I hear Lake has wide size tri shoe.

I ordered custom bike shoes (D2 shoes) as I'm tired of fighting and trying so many different shoes. I had the fit for them yesterday and hope they are done in next month. I ordered them in February and am in the queue.

I'll check out the LBS (We actually have 2 of them in my area).  I did have a fitting when I bought my bike, about 4 years ago.  But I took a good 2 years off of riding, think its worth getting my fit checked out? 

It looks like I will check out Shimano they seem to be the best bet by what you all recommended. 

Lake has a fairly wide standard last.  Their shoes are also VERY high volume.  This is great if you want to put in othotics, but is a try-it-first kinda fit.

Lake has ended US distribution, but you can still get their shoes at RealCyclist.com (and they have a great return policy if they don't fit).
