      I’ve heard they run narrow but don’t have fist hand experience. Lake and Sidi make great mountain bike shoes in wide sizes.

      These are pretty legendary flat shoes. I have a slightly different model from Specialized and my standard shoe size fits great. 

      I also wear the same size in Salomon, ON, Adidas, and Danner, if that helps.

      I found them to run a bit on the small side (in terms of length). I’ll echo what another poster said though, in that I think these are a bit of a secret for super sticky flat shoes. They don’t last me more than a year, but at 40-50 USD that’s not a big deal.

      I don’t think the size is small I think the interior volume of the toe box is low. My flat feet don’t feel squished, but I just don’t have a lot of wiggle room. I would order a few sizes.

      These are great shoes with unreal grip. I have almost 500 hours on my second pair and the soles have almost no wear.

      I wear a men’s 10.5-11, depending on the brand, and sized up to an 11.5 for Roosts and they fit perfectly. Toe is closer to the end than I usually go for but it feels fine. Most reviews I’ve read suggested sizing up a full size.

      I have 2 pairs.

      Got the 2nd pair because the one part from front started unglue and specialized send me a free pair. (Got em for 100$cnd so pretty cheap)

      Very comfy shoes, very light.

      Not super stiff, might not be super durable.

      Oh yes front middle feels wide.

      I have pretty wide feet. I wear 5.10 freeriders (freeridee pros were a little too constricting) and a random pair of shimano shoes and I wish both were just a touch wider. I had to return the Roost, too constricting on my foot

      I have the clipless version. For me at least the men’s 10 UK size is spot on and it’s a fairly wide fit which is good for me.

      I had to size up, but return and retry was an easy process with Specialized

      I wear size 7 UK and the 41 EU are the right size. I find the opening quite narrow so they aren’t slip-on, but wearing them I forget about them.

      I have the DH Flat by Specialized and bought them super cheap on sale. My husband runs these as well. We both have wide feet. They run true to size for me. I think I bought a 6, which perfectly fit my 7.5 wide woman’s foot. I prefer the Unparallel Dust Up but they are almost impossible to get anymore. I have three pairs of those and one pair of the DH Flats. I rotate them in and out so that they don’t get trashed. I mostly ride the DH Flats for downhill.
