clipless shoe size with a big toe area
Not sure where to post this, so I guess this is as good a place as any.....
I put shimano 530 clipless pedals on my vintage bikes, and I got an older cheap used pair of shimano clipless road shoes.....listed as 12.5 size.....I take a 12 in a regular shoe.
The shoes I got are ok, but are a bit cramped in the toe area. Thinking I might need a size 13.
Anyone have any suggestions for a good clipless road shoe in the 12-13 range that has a roomy toe area????
Thanks!

LET'S ROLL
Some Sidi models are available in wide widths:
https://www.sidiamerica.com/sidi/road...ucts_road.html
HOW SIDIs ARE SIZED
• SIDI half sizes are 3 mm longer, with slightly increased toe box volume. Full sizes are 6 mm longer, with proportionally greater volume.
• Standard-size SIDIs roughly correspond to a D width on the industry-standard Brannock sizing scale.
• Mega sizes are cut with more material throughout, and a larger-volume heelcup. Mega sizes roughly correspond to a EE/EEE width on the Brannock sizing scale.

My new Vittorias have a wider toe box than my Shimanos. And Shimano sizes run small. My 47 Sh are smaller than my 46 Vits. (I generally wear 12s in tennis shoes, 11 1/2 in my J&Ms )

Specialized shoes tend to have a roomy toe box.
A note on the Sidis (though addressed in the previous post): I find that the mega sizes add considerable volume in the upper that should help with all but the broadest feet While the footbed is widened and lengthened, the upper feels noticeably larger. I wear size 44.5 regular Sidis ideally. I have one pair of size 44 reg road shoes that are nicely broken in and slightly snug but usable, one pair of 44 reg mountain shoes that aren't as broken in but, slightly snug but usable, and a pair of 44.5 Megas that are just right but feel too big in the toe box and heel to feel ideal. The 44.5s would probably fit perfect in a regular 44.5, but I would probably rather go down to a 44 regular than buy another pair of 44.5 Megas. In a Shimano road shoe, feel pretty good in a 44 (a pair of 44 Sidis without insoles would probably fit about the same, fwiw).

+1 on Specialized...comfiest cycling shoes I've worn.
I currently have Sonomas (casual) and Pro Carbon MTBs.
I also have Mavic Furys and they are quite crowded in the toe box.
Note that the Specialized sizing is a little odd. I wear an 11US and a 45 in Specialized, yet Specialized list them as a 12...
