I am currently thinking of buying my first pair of Shimano MTB shoes.  I have looked at the sizing conversion chart on the Shimano website.

My query is - in general how do other riders feel Shimano shoes compare in size with "ordinary shoes"?

For example, have you found you need to buy a Shimano shoe that is slightly bigger or smaller in size than your normal ordinary footwear?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

I need a size bigger in Shimano than normal shoes.

Same here.

And here.

Shimano shoes are on the tight side ime.

A size up on my normal shoes.

Try in a shop before you buy.
