Alternative to Spez shoes

[Underachiever]

Hi hubbers

 

Been riding with Spez shoes (road and MTB) for a number of years and found them to be really great. The wider toe box works perfectly for my slightly wider feet.

 

BUT

 

I am looking for other options

 

What brands offer the same wider options? - pity that Sidi is not one of them :-(

Try on a pair of louis garneau's. They are also a bit wider than Sidi.

[TNOSE_E]

FinishLine have them.

Some of the Sidis are available for high arches and wider feet

I went from Speaz to Gaerne and have been really happy, the toe box actually has more room.

 

contact me for deals on them if you're interested

Why the move from Spez.?

 

Sidi has the Mega option.

Also, I've heard that the .5 sizes (if you can find them) are essentially wider with more room.

 

Shimano was always recommended as a 'roomy' shoes but I can't confirm this.

I ride with the Sidi wide shoe size and its perfect for my fat feet.

+1 for Garneau (also have wide feet and high bridge)

I only roll with Sidi

Highly recommended

Consider the mega option for platvoete

Hi-jack. Any reason not to switch to Spaz? I'm considering an S-Works road as an alternative to my Sidi Ergo's.

Nope, really great shoes. I am just looking for more options than white/red/black colours.

+1 Can't say enough good things about Gaerne. Have 2 sets of road shoes and just lost my mtb shoes (aka they were in a bag that was 'redistributed'). I've got hobbit feet and not had issues with these, also sizing is spot on.

 

Good to see they are getting more coverage over here, think there must be a new agent.

 

Edit: apparently the are all handmade in Italy, so your Mrs will appreciate the craftmanship when you blow more on shoes than she does!

Spaz have the BG design with varus wedge which is great for the knees and leg alignment, not sure if any other shoes have the same?

[Blackbeard]

Suplest. And I can confirm Shimano.

I also switch between Specialized and Gaerne, they fit equally well.

Been riding with the Giro Code MTB shoes and they have been great and well priced. Mavic just too narrow and Spez just a tad too wide. Giro Guage are also an option.
