After years of riding in Specialized and Sidi shoes, I decided to give these a try. I have pretty wide feet and have always had trouble getting a comfortable fit in cycling shoes. The Sidi mega shoes fit me fairly well, but are a little sloppy on my feet. And their lighter-stiffer models aren't available in mega sizes.
The Shimano shoes can be custom fitted, so I decided to try them. I don't have a local dealer so I bought them online from Western and did the fit adjustment myself. After heating them in the kitchen oven at about 250 degrees for a few minutes, I put them on my feet and then put my foot with shoe into a large plastic bag along with my vacuum cleaner hose. I wrapped a belt around the bag at my ankle to minimize the air leaking and let the vacuum create as much suction as possible for about three minutes. I kept the shoe on my feet for another five minutes as they cooled down.
The fit is fantastic. There are no pressure spots, but my feet don't move around at all while I'm riding. The soles are stiff and the closures are easy to use. What more could you ask for?
Thank you for your feedback.
