  1. What are the widest performance oriented SPD mountainbike shoes? I have a size 8EEE foot. I am using
    Time ATAC pedals.

    Thanks for any suggestions...

    I don't know if it's EEE, but some wide shoes I've tried for my wide
    10.5/11 feet are:

    Specialized Sport Mountain (have some from a few model years back that fit well, size 45 (european),
    though 44.5 would be just right for me, current models seem to have the same sizing and shape when I
    tried them this week)

    Diadora Geko (just bought these yesterday at Performance so I could keep a pair of shoes and a bike
    at work too, they fit very comparably to the Specialized shoes I already have, slightly less round
    in the toe area, but where the width counts, it's comfy)

    Lake MX101 Wide - I returned these because they were a little big/long (I guess Lakes run a little
    longer than others--I really needed 44.5 on these rather than the usualy 46). They have other wide
    width models too.

    Cannondale Clogs - they look very wide from the pictures (see www.nashbar.com), but I didn't get
    them because the Speedplay pedal compatibility guide said they didn't work well with Frogs because
    the toe box was TOO WIDE and caused interference when trying to disengage the pedal. Maybe
    Cannondale makes their shoes for us Clydesdales? :-)

    The Lake Xtreme shoes are the widest I've ever found, a bit wider than the Sidi Mega Dominators.

    I didn't even look at the Sidi because of cost. I went with the Lake Xtreme MX-201's. They are
    supposed to be like an E or EE, so I can't tighten then TOO tight, but tight enough. The longer I
    wear them (been 6 months) the better they feel, of course. I have never owned any other bike shoe so
    can't compare. GeoB

    Thanks for the tips (everyone). I was eyeing a pair of the Etreme's on line, I think I will place
    the order today!
