I had been wearing regular width shoes in 45, 45.5 or 46 depending on the brand when in fact my feet measured a 44 in length but very wide. I sold all my old shoes and bought a pair of Shimano R260 in 44E and a pair of Sidi MTB shoes in 44 "Mega" and my feet have been happy ever since.

For this season I decided I wanted an extra pair of shoes just for the track so I took a chance and ordered some DMT P1 track shoes on sale in a 45. I have only used them for a few roller sessions and one race night but they fit well for my wide feet without too much excess length and are very very stiff. Can't hurt that they should be quite aero as well.
