Shoe Recommendation?
I wear a size 48 MTB shoe with a wide toe box. My Specialized ones are getting to the point where they need replacing. The local S dealer no longer has the model that I had and does not have anything in a 48.
So I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!!

This is my exact issue. I was about to order size 48 Specialized Pro XC shoes as I'm happy with my Specialized road shoes. Stores don't have stock in 48 and can't order them as Specialized is out (they have Comps you can order, but I want toe studs). I looked at the 'shoefitr' on the Arts Cyclery page and see that the Shimano shoes in 48 fit almost the same as the Specialized, so I'm looking at the XC61 and XC70. I can't recommend them yet, as I am ordering today, so won't have them for another week or so.

I Like my Five Tens. Stick to the pedals pretty good and offer good protection from hits by rocks and roots.

I have a set of lake mx237 shoes and I really like them. I also have a set of cheaper serfas shoes as a spare set to use in crappy conditions and they are pretty nice for the price. Both are wide.

I had a pair of Specialized that no longer are made so I had to settle for the Shimano SH-M088L in 48.

Clipless or platform? Assuming clipless because you're giving Euro sizes?
Sidis are legit and last a long time. Mega is their wide line.
