    Hello, this is my first time posting. I was thinking of buying my first road bike but the problem is I have feet which are about three sizes in the difference and I was just wondering if cycling shoes and clipless pedals can accomodate these differences or would it be best to get normal, i.e. non clipless, pedals? Thanks very much!

    It looks like you will have to buy 2 pairs of cycling shoes, to get an individual correct fit for each foot.
    Apparently Greg lemond had the same problem, and he won the tour de France 3 times.

    By fine tuning the cleat position, ie sliding the cleat rearward on the larger foot. And slightly forward, on the smaller foot.
    You should be able to get a smooth and even pedal stroke.

    Anyway try this first, and get back to me.
    If you buy last years discontinued cycling shoes. It should not be prohibitively expensive, to buy 2 pairs.

    Happy Cycling:)
