    I've always had a bit of trouble fitting cycling shoes. I have long,
    yet very low volume, feet and can never find a pair of shoes that give
    me that snug, "fits like a glove" feel. If I go down a size, I get my
    snugness but they're too short and my toes get squished up at the front
    of the shoe. If I go up a size, the length is right but there's a bit
    too much room.

    So far the closest to proper fit I've found are Sidi. Length is fine
    but just a wee bit too roomy for my taste. Does anyone here have any
    "tricks" to take up some extra room in the shoe? I don't want to wear
    overly thick socks... How about placing an additional, very think
    insole to take up some extra room?

    I had a pair of Adidas, I think they were called Bassano, that were way
    narrow for my feet. You may want to check if anyone carries the addidas
    line that you can try on to see if they fit well.

    Sidi also makes many of their models in a "narrow" version. In addition,
    notice that full sizes are narrower than half sizes, but have the same
    length.
