Snails Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Hi guys, I have a pair of Shimano SH-R088 Road Shoes, and the left shoe is too narrow for my foot and digs into my arch. Does anyone have any suggestions for wide road shoes that aren't too pricey? Thanks in advance for any advice.
Tumbleweed Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Try the Olympic shoes. They seem to be a wider cut than most.

Thanks in advance for any advice.Try stretching that left shoe - fill some plastic packets with water and pack the area you want bigger with them and the rest with dry newspaper - then place in the freezer overnight
Butterbean Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Of stretching doesn't work, try out some bont riot or vaypor shoes. Stiff soles and the widest fit I could find. Also, all models are heat mouldable in your oven at home. Been on mine for over a year without any feet problems! And I have some TIR wide feet.

Try stretching that left shoe - fill some plastic packets with water and pack the area you want bigger with them and the rest with dry newspaper - then place in the freezer overnight Thanks, I'll definitely give that a try. I have nothing to lose and this could save me a lot of money. Of stretching doesn't work, try out some bont riot or vaypor shoes. Stiff soles and the widest fit I could find.

Presumably most other shoes won't take well to being put in the oven?

Super J Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 What size are you? I have rather large feet and SIDI work great, especially real leather,soak in hot water and drop off at your local Multi serve, they have a shoe stretcher....
Tumbleweed Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Thanks. What is the quality of Olympic's shoes like? I had the MTB version - which is just the road version with more stuff on the sole - and they served me well for a number of years.
Wez-O Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 From past experience European brands are narrower than non-European such as Shimano , Specialized etc.
