Haven't measured them, but they are relatively narrow compared to the width of the widest area of my foot.
Was asking; thinking also about Specialized options.
I'm 270mm length, with 111/113 width, but flatter feet and pretty narrow heel.
43cm in the old S-Works mtb 6 fits me very well after a little breaking in. Couple of mm or so gap at the front.
Ignoring $$$ for the moment
the Specialized Recon 3 in a 43.5 or 44? might work as the heel in that model tends to suit a wider range.
In addition there is more height in the toebox (and subsequently along the length of the shoe?) than the 6.
I mainly thought of it as an option as the carbon sole has their stiffness rating of 10, but the big plus is there is built in flex forward of the cleat (helps when walking around a bit).
The Recon 2 only has their stiffness rating of 6.0.
