Lake 177s are great, available in half sizes and wide cuts. 

Reach out to Pure Motion Sports, they should have an idea on who has stock of the size you need.

Cape Town.

GearChange in Mowbray or Tokai can assist with Lake.

I would definitely consider Lake because they do offer the whole size range and if its not in stock they'll have it within 2 weeks as they are not afraid to special order your size

Can vouch as well for Lake, have a super wide foot and haven't had issues with the MX238.

Another vote for Lake - I use the wide shoe after three pairs of Specialized. Never going back to the big S.  Talk to Andrew at The Gear Change in Mowbray. They are well stocked and have the special Lake foot measuring thingy.

Wide feet - just speak to Lake. They will help you find the right size and model for what you need. Only issue sometimes is stock. But that's a universal problem anyway.

Anyone know who has lake shoes in Pretoria area. I would like to fit and find out more

Agreed Lake are good but there are variations between the different models. So buyer beware. The best is to go try them on.

Comfy shoes are so important, and they are so expensive that it’s not worth just ordering online and hoping for the best.

Hi All,
I have gone through the forum and previous chats.

My current MTB Shoes, Shimano XC501 may be too small, or my feet are too wide for them. Also, I am getting numbness on the front and outer sides of my feet. And yes, I have gone for a bike fit. 

Anyway, I bought a road bike for triathlon and decided to get a new pair of MTB shoes to use for the mtb and road bike. 

I've been doing some research over the last couple of days, and I can't narrow it down to what I need to get.
I am currently looking at the Specialized Recon 3.0 or Shimano XC702 Wide (having difficulty finding a shop that stocks them). Other brands recommended online were Sidi, Lake, Giro and Bont. I like Sidi, but I prefer BOA for Triathlons. Couldn't find a shop that stocks Bont or Lake, and not keen to buy online as I already own one pair that I thought was the correct fit which ended up not being.

Any suggestions or tips would be great. Thanks!
