Wide Race boots?

[JuicyGuzzi]

Hi All,

Need a pair of race boots but can't find a fit. The Alpinestars fit my feet but will not close around my legs. The Sidi boots I can't even get on my wide feet.

Size 45.

Anybody go through this?

Thanx, Denis

Try oxtar, my feet are wide and they are roomy on me.

I've got wide feet & big calves (shame about the rest but you can't have everything eh?) and found the Alpinestars ones a near perfect fit.

Although I did have to go a size up, normally a 44 (uk10) but my bike boots are 45's.

I found the same with the Sidi's, even by going up a size I couldn't get my foot in them!

The problem lies with having so many different sizes, some company's UK10 is more like a 45 in euro sizes etc. It's a pain in the chuff.

sidis are quite small

swift MKII are quite wide but they are cheap

It may be worth looking round to find if there are any race suit makers in your area, Sam had her Sidi's adjusted to fit her legs. They guy adjusted the zip and extended the velcro flappy bit so it's a good fit for her. Used the same Lorica stuff as her boots, double stitched it and everything. At first look, you can't tell.
