If you're a cyclist with large feet, you've probably been looking for a pair of cycling shoes for quite a long time. There aren't many companies that are making large sized shoes and the ones that you'll find are usually quite expensive. Here are some tips for finding the perfect cycling shoe for your big feet.
Look for Lake Cycling
Lake Cycling seems to have the largest selection of large size shoes. The shoes will run you anywhere from $100 to $200. The styling of the shoes are "neutral", though occasionally, you will run across a completely red pair.
Sierra Trading Post
One totally unexpected place that you will find large cycling shoes is at Sierra Trading Post. Some of the shoes that they have run upwards of $500, but they allow you to shop by size, so finding something for your big feet should be fairly easy. Unfortunately, because of their business model, the stock is changing frequently.
eBay
eBay is also a good source for finding large cycling shoes online. The problem with eBay is that the return policies vary from seller to seller and you can be assured that returning items to an eBay seller is nowhere near as easy and fun as Bonobos, Zappos or Amazon.
Keen
Keen shoes has a line of clipless compatible shoes. The only pair that really for cycling would be the Springwaters. They are offered up to size 15, but you'll rarely find them in stock.
The thing to remember about shopping for cycling shoes for big feet is to keep shopping. More and more, manufacturers are catering to those of us with big feet, but they're not pushing the stock out in huge numbers. If you find a pair that are your size, don't delay because another one of us with big feet may just buy them before you can.
