My feet are 11.5cm...bit wider than yoursDarkday wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2018 9:02 amReally appreciate the help! So length wise, I should be fine right? My feet are 9.8cm at their widest, any thoughts on this? I did try a Fizik R3b and found that too narrow, but Empire ACC fine.Squashednuts wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2018 7:23 amMy feet measure about 27.7cm...I found Empire 45s were okay for length but way too narrow...check the width
It's good that you've been able to try them on...if they feel okay
I liked the Giros, well made, really liked the laces & good colours.
Due to this I persevered longer than I would have with other shoes

Ok! I'll go ahead and make the purchase then. Fingers crossed it fits

I wish I'd known this last month
I bought a used pair of Empires to try out in 42 because the equivalent US size was marked 9.5. I wear a 44 in Sidis (and size 10 Nike running shoes) and I could barely get my foot in the Giros. Way too small to ride in. (although I really like them and hope I can find some 44/44.5's now)
My first pair of Empire ACC was a 44 and was wide enough for my wide feet. I decided to get another one on-line as we didn't have stock locally then. My second pair, though being the same model was not as wide but still fit me. It was pretty obvious with the wider lace opening. I'm on my third pair as I love this model, but I ordered the SLX. A bit weird as the fit was wide and similar to my first pair. I guess that's the problem with buying on-line. There was no indication of shoe width so I assumed I didn't have a choice. Despite the differences in production, I would still get another pair of Giros but maybe the tech-lace version.
