Giro 2013 Mens Gauge HV Wide Mountain Bike Shoes (Black - 41) Review

Started biking longer distances recently and needed more support once I regularly was riding 20-40 miles. After weeks of research, I was unable to find a bike shoe to fit my feet- E width, high instep and wide ankle. I couldn't find inserts that worked well enough in running shoes, couldn't find tie-up MTB shoes for recreational pedals (what I really wanted.) I don't know why manufacturers don't make extra wide bike shoes- since the online forums and reviews are full of folks asking for them. People say buy Lake- but they can't be found in the US. No bike shops have the wide sizes to try, and the few called wide, like the SIDI were still too narrow for me. Custom shoes are crazy expensive for recreational riders.
I've heard Giro will be discontinuing the HV (which stands for "high volume") version- specifically made to accommodate either orthodics or wide feet. It took searching forever to find out about it, as there are almost no reviews online. I hope they keep it and GIRO IF YOU READ THIS PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING SOME OF THE NEW LACE UP MTB SHOES FOR EXTRA WIDE FEET! Those look awesome like regular walking shoes (not like these which are ugly like racers), but with carbonite support.

This shoe wasn't wide enough either- and cost a lot to start modifying, but I was out of other options. I added a loop (I used an elastic hair band) to extend each of the velcro straps and give me more height for my high instep. Since the shoes fits like a glove and the leather(?) is very soft, the width doesn't pinch and spillover on the sole doesn't matter on a bike shoe. You could also just remove the inserts and ride with very thin socks and gain extra width and height or room for a larger orthodic that way. Most people like the cinch closure at the ankle but I hate it because I have such a large ankle bone- and also because I'm not so young anymore and it requires bending to close. I'm using it on the loose setting, but may eventually remove it and poke holes for laces. So the shoe isn't perfect for me- but it's comfortable now. No hot spots. I'd give it 5 stars if it had an easier ankle closure and extra grip on the soles.

I didn't want cleats or clips. I was able to find pedals that have cleat attachments on one side and are flat on the other- so you can ride with any shoes. You won't be able to ride on flat recreational pedals with no grips without sliding. You wouldn't want to hike in these, or drive, but you can walk without looking like a duck.

I have all these issues, but if you're just looking for a super comfortable shoe for normal feet and you do want to clip in- buy them- they're nice, good shoes. The sizing is wacky- follow their chart and then size up. I wear a women's 9.5 E in New Balance, and I got these in mens 42 (no orthodic.) Also- note that the bottoms get chopped up pretty fast. They don't look great, but it doesn't affect performance.
