Big NorthWave Reseller?

verywidefeet

I'm cracking up at the moment and I'm seriously thinking of going back to Toe clips

Help!



Can someone please tell me

Which reseller in Dublin/Wicklow has the largest NorthWave shoe selection ?







I've very wide feet for my shoe size in a running shoe I'm US 10 with a width fitting of 4E which is about as wide as you can get.

I've tried lake wide and Sidi mega shoes and some shimanos with no joy
Northwave have been recommended but most shops I've tried have
very few Northwave shoes.

'The Bike Shop' in limerick stock these.....I think. From what ive seen in the shop they appear to have a reasonable size selection

I'm looking initially for Spdsl's

maybe a Vertigo or Vertigo Pro or Aerlite 3 or even if all else fails an Spd City Cruiser


I'm not really decided as its all down to sizing and comfort for me I'm
just coming back to cycling after a very long break (Previously on an antique Dyna Sys Dura ace with Toe Clips)

I'll just be doing a few hours a week but I don't mind paying a bit more for shoes that fit well.

Specialized are also wide. If road shoes don't work out try MTB SPDs before giving up entirely - you can get these wider/less tight in my limited experience.

I have a similar problem with foot shape, my feet are very wide at the toes so I need a shoe with plenty of space in the toebox. My Northwave Vertigo SBS shoes are very wide fitting - probably a little too wide with a summer sock - but they're the only cycling shoe I've tried where my correct size (41) actually fits. All other times I've had to size up to get the width and end up with a shoe that's too long.

However, my Northwave Tribal triathlon shoes (yes, yes, no smart comments!) are not so wide, perhaps because you don't need to wear a sock with them. Also, the Northwave Celsius winter boots I tried in 41 were far too tight. So, long story short, the wide fit does not seem to run throughout the range - try before buying.

I got both my pairs in Cycleways about 18 months ago but they were selling them off at the time so probably none left at this stage. Maybe worth a call, but you can try some Specialized in there anyhow to see if they work. Humphries in Finglas also stock Northwave (or did in the past) so you could try there too.

Its really good to get some feed back from someone who has the same problem



Thanks Very much MadHatter

Wheelworx stock a good enough selection, I picked up a pair of Aerlite 5 SBS out there about 6 moths ago for €150, very good value at the time.

Eurocycles on South William St have some Northwave shoes. So I would presume all branches could get them for you.

They're on the website as well: http://www.eurocycles.ie/Shoes/Road/Northwave_Vertigo_Pro/3874_p.aspx

I bought a pair of aerlite 5 sbs last week in buildabike off capel street. They had some northwave in stock but got in the aerlites for me when I asked them. I also have a wide foot and am very happy with my new shoes!!

Thank you all Very much for your posts . I'll be ringing around a few of the shops
you've mentioned today.



Also I kind of like the look of "Bont" shoes has anyone got first hand opinions on them and do they have a wide fitting.
