Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

14 narrow shoes for clipless pedals?

And so here I am, cursed with long narrow feet and facing yet another situation where it's difficult to find shoes that fit. I'd like to replace my pedals with clipless pedals, but obviously it's pointless if I can't find shoes that clip into them. Any suggestions for someone who wears a size 14 narrow?

Most people consider Sidi brand shoes to run a bit narrow. You'll need a 48 or 49. I use Sidi Mega in a size 49. The Mega's are for wider feet. Good luck.

I use specalized pros in a narrow, but I dont know if they have them long enough

Sidis were not narrow enough for me, and I would still like the spec. to be narrower

but I would try them first as it is easy to find a spec. shop and if you can get the length right in a regular width then you might order the narrows

Always thought Sidis ran wide... anyway, I have an 11.5 AA, yes, AA, foot. I have an impossible time with this as well. My Mavics come close... at least they aren't baggy. Just how narrow _is_ your foot?
