I also currently have a black stripe on black suede pair for subtlety. Just remember to buy a 1/2-1 size over, as they are a tight fit. Which I forgot to once, so I have a pair of 9-1/2 (for size 9 foot) in discontinued brown 'aged' leather if anyone is interested before I put them on ebay. Only worn once for 1-2 hrs and realised my mistake, and stored in a smoke/pet free house since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought mine half a size under my normal eleven, and whilst they are tight, I will hopefully prefer the smaller shoe given the tightness of my (narrow bodied) pedal box. I’ve yet to try them so will report back in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIY-Si Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Do these same shoe suggestions hold for someone that usually wears a flipper in a UK 12/EU 47.5? I've tried looking in the past, and found that once you're advised to order a 1/2 to a full size up that I'm off the top of the size chart....

As @Blatmansuggested, its best to go to an actual shop and try them on, as it seems many of these type of shoes are not sized consistantly across the brands. I am so glad I went as I would never usually buy a size 10 shoe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stoat Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I really like Vivo Barefoot shoes, especially for those with a wider foot. They have a great sizing tool that means no messing about with ordering multiple sizes and sending some back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us with flipper shaped feet there is very little choice, why shoes are shaped like torpedoes and not feet is beyond me. Getting cycling shoes without chopping off toes is even more fun ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Only suitable driving shoes I've found size 12 are cheapest possible chinese trainers and proper Raceboots. these trainers are vented and so light, good for summer heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
