Recommendation needed for shoes with a wide toe box
Moderator: Moderator Team
Hi all
Just burned my fingers on a pair of Giro VR90. They got 20 min. of use. before I had to take them off.
If you have a good suggestion for a shoe with a wide toe box I would appreciate the recommendation.
Looking for either laces or boa close and mid to high level.
PM me if you need a pair of black VR90 in size 43.

Hey Champ5000 - I found Bont shoes work well. Nice roomy toe box and narrowish heel - perfect for me.
I have a high arch so they are a little short on the ratchet with an insole, but they are the most comfortable wide shoes that I have found.
They have a good foot sizer on their site (I haven't looked in a while but it should be there).
In running shoes I always use Merrell - the Bont's are a similar foot shaped last.
Diadora also worked for me in the past.
Shimano/Sidi are generally too narrow for me.
Got to try them - shoe fit is subjective....

The normal lake mx237 are pretty wide and they make a wide verison. Shimano xc90 and giro vr90 fit me perfect and the normal lakes are too wide for me, they are also a lot bigger in volume all around then shimano or giro. Not sure how mtb diadora's are but I have the road vortex pros and they are alittle wider then giro empires but not even close to how wide the lakes are.

My wide feet (2E-4E) like Sidi Megas. Have you looked at the Dragon 4 Mega?

Late to the show, but I have always had issues with having a narrow heel and wide forefoot. Bont and Lake both have been excellent fits.
Another wide guy here... +1 on the Bonts!
Their website have a wide option for all sizes, and then you can heat mold them for a better fit.

These worked for me too. I have a narrow heel and so does the Sidi, if you don't have a narrow heel you may want to try a different shoe.
However as we list shoes that are wide a person needs to try them on, hopefully with a someone at a bike shop who knows how to fit shoes to a person. You also need to fit shoes at the end of the day, this is when your feet have swollen slightly, doing it at the end of the day insures that the shoe won't become too tight later in the day. Make sure you take a clean pair of socks you normally ride with.
Shimano R088 wide, Shimano R321, Bontrager RXL, Lake CX has several wide ones but they are pricey, Lake MX100, Northwave makes a shoe called the Omega heel which is for wide heels but they also have a wide toe box, Garneau Montana. A couple of these shoes are MTB shoes, but you didn't specify so I covered a couple of those.
When you find your new shoes you might as well make sure you're as comfortable as you can be, so consider getting a pair of Specialized footbeds, the bike shop dealer can find the right one for your feet with some sort of pressure or heat sensitive plate thing they have.
Shimano shoes wide option. Very roomy.

Look at Shimano, Giro or Specialized. They all have wide toe box models.
