Any mountain bikers out there? Need shoe advice...

[jillybean]

I have a Smith with clipless pedals. My current shoes are Nike's and they are far too narrow for my big ol' feet. Any of you have bike shoes that fit comfortably? Thanks in advance for any replies!

I've always had a problem w/ Nike shoes - whatever the sport. Too narrow in front, too wide at the back. They feel like a man's shoe.

I've had good luck w/ Sidi & varying success w/ Shimano. Actually, w/ both, I have to try on a lot of their line. Some of my friends love some Italian brand (& I'm at a loss for the name) but they're very pricy.

In the interest of full disclosure, I still don't have a mountain bike but use mt bike shoes for touring.

I've had the same problem as Debra regarding all of Nike's shoes. Otherwise, I have no advice to give - I haven't found any mtn bike shoes yet that fit my wide metatarsal. But thought I'd say Hi! to fellow mtn bikers!

I have been sick for a full week with some sort of cold/bronchitis sort of thing. Actually my whole family has been sick for the better part of the month! It is cold, and cloudy, and we just got majorly dumped on with snow last week.

I just have to say that it does my heart good to even SEE a thread with the words "Mountain Bikers" in it. Reminds me that winter will not last forever and my favorite trails will be wonderful reward for all this winter blah
