GiroPrivateer Lace Cycling Shoe - Men's

No BOA or Velcro strap can top the comfort and fit of a solid lace-up cycling shoe, and these work very well! The captive elastic strap with leatherette pull tab lets you stow the laces safely. These rugged bike shoes fit my feet like my gloves fit my hands. In my world of long-distance and multi-day road cycling events foot-comfort is the thing that translates to sustained speed on the road bike and these shoes bring that result. I use the Shimano SPD (mountain bike) system on the road bike for max reliability, ruggedness and ease of use a cyclist needs for all day rides or multi-day events. These shoes and cleat system let one walk about the rest stops on 60-mile-plus events without tottering about on one's heels. You can portage a bike over an unexpected downed tree or other obstacle in the road in such shoes with confidence (endurance roadies know this is a thing!). This gravel shoe is a great endurance roadie solution. If one needs the 4-6 watts of extra power from true roadie aero shoes and wide cleats I guess one must accept the cruel fit, awkward surface mobility and $$$$ price. Otherwise you have found your shoe here. I wear a US mid-wide size 13 and having tried both Euro size 47 and 48 in hard cranking action, I can vouch for the fact that the 48 is needed in Giro brand for my feet. The brand calls this a US "13.5". So maybe think in terms of testing a half-size larger than your US standard if offered.

Size 14 narrow.... these shoes do good. Lace up nice. Allow me to adjust the show so the tightness is consistent across the shoe. Cleats work well. Use them for CX and they are decent to run inn.

Quality for the priceFit is excellent , just order what you normally wear
