    check out at , , specifically look for ‘WIDE’ keyword. There is ‘Live chat’ in both site and both have awasome customer service 24/7. Ask them that which one is ‘wide’ shoe.
    ‘Diadora’ looks like little wide. Recently I bought this Adidas one

    But, I feel too tight or narror that my foot hearts. Make sure you have both LOOK and SPD (unless you want only one type)

    Sidi makes road and mountain cycling shoes in wide widths. They refer to them as “mega” models, and they are roughly equivalent to EE width. They are the only brand I’ve found that fits my square feet. Sidi shoe are not cheap (start around $150), but they are very very good and will last a long time. Since they will make you more comfortable, I think they are a better investment than most cycling purchases.

    As with any shoes, your best bet is to try them on before you buy them. However, the mega shoes are hard to find in most local shops. Lots of online places have them (Performance, etc.) but you may have to check around to find the exact size and model you want. If you order online, make sure you can return them without extra fees.

    If your feet are too wide for Pearl Izumi, you may be out of luck. Those things are like gunboats. I feel your pain, though; I suffer from the opposite end of it, and it’s hard to find narrow shoes to fit me.

    Sidi makes regular, narrow and “Mega” widths in their shoes, so give them a try. Yes, they are expensive, but Sidis kick butt!

    Vittoria makes a cycling shoe in wide widths and are excellent to ride in. These can be found at most cycling shops and most catalog companies.

    I have a pair of DMT shoes. They are very comfy, maybe try a pair on in a shop and see what you think, they are meant to be wider than average.

    I have very wide, and large feet (12 EE) and the Sidi Genius Mega fit me perfectly. They are not the cheapest shoes by any means ($230) but mine are in my 3rd season of heavy use and they still look and feel perfect.
