    Anyone recognize these old shoes?

    I have foot problems and I need an extra roomy shoe up front. I'm finding it vary difficult to get anything suitable. I found this old pair in the shed and they are by far the most comfortable of anything I tried.

    It's a long shot that I'd find a good pair, but it would help if I knew the type to search for!

    Size 44-45 on the off-chance that anyone has an old pair to sell.

    Yeah, they look like Specialized BG (stands for body geometry) 'Sport' shoes
    They are entry level shoes - the three straps are always entry level with Specialized - next level commonly known as 'Expert' and would have a ratchet strap

    A quick ebay search throws up quite a few pairs....

    Thanks! I failed to decipher that logo - I tried all sorts of combinations.

    I’ve the same shoes relegated to 3rd choice after I’d say maybe the guts of ten years
    you’re right they are roomy . I had the same problem finding a pair like them afterwards . Even the other specialized didn’t fit like them

    I had a pair from the same range about 7-8 years ago, but I wouldn't have described them as roomy at the time. I stopped using them eventually as they were just that bit too tight. I do struggle to find shoes that are wide enough though
