Anybody no how a Lake 45.5 road shoe correlates to a Sidi size road shoe. Interested in the Sidi Alba mega. I wear Keen size 45 and Specialized recon 2.0 in 45.5
Lake shoes tend to be wider than Sidi. I’ve owned Sidi’s extra wide shoes and Lake’s extra wide shoes. The Sidis are noticeable narrower than the Lakes…close to 3/4” narrower. I have tailor’s bunions on both feet that rested exactly on the outer edge of the sole on the Sidi. They were extremely uncomfortable after just a few minutes. They were so uncomfortable that I paid full price and overnight shipping for a pair of Lake extra wide mountain bike shoes while at my daughter’s house in Tucson so that I could go ride.
The Lake’s wider foot bed is far more comfortable.
