Any potential problem from shoes too wide?
Like a lot of others I'm now experiencing hot feet 1-1/2 hours into my road ride. Last time the pain was unbearable. My regular width shoes, Lewis Garneau Milan with an insole that is 95 mm wide, are just too tight, have tried stretching them. When I take the footbed out and stand on it my feet really hang over. Looking at a pair of Lake CX237 wide though the online store says I should go with the standard version, 104 mm wide. Really considering going with the wide even though they would be 116 mm wide. My foot measures 106 mm wide, should measure again after a hard ride to see what it is swollen. What's the potential issues if the shoes I buy are 10mm too wide, I can't afford to make a $300+ mistake. I know somebody is gonna say go to the LBS to try them on, I've been to more than a dozen stores in Greensboro, Charlotte & Asheville looking for wide shoes without finding any to try on. I hate mail order for shoes & clothes but it looks to be my only choice.
