Default I have wide feet

I've always had a problem finding shoes that will fit wide feet (triple E), and again I am having difficulties finding mountain bike shoes that are wide enough for my feet.
Does anyone know of any shoe brands that make wide shoes? I'm looking for sneaker or mountain style shoe that is SPD compatible. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have wide feet too. And Orthodics. I've been using Specialized Mtn. and Road shoes. I normally wear a 13 shoe. But the Euro 48 shoe in Specialized works good for me.

5:10 High Impact shoes. They're only made for platform pedals though

I have really wide feet and nothing worked except Lake shoes. I've tried both Sidi and Specialized in the wide size and they just weren't wide enough. Although I haven't tried the Speciaized Taho yet and they look pretty wide so that might be worth a shot.

If you don't have a Lake dealer near you just give them a call direct. I talked to a guy named Chris and he was really helpful. I ended up with a pair of MX170 and they fit my wide feet really well.

agree regarding Lake...I truly have retarded feet (genetically messed up arches etc), among other parts, and ONLY lake has worked. My first year of biking i went through 5 pairs of shoes, all supposed wides...untile the lakes and i use nothing but them now

Sidi has a wide, Speccy has a wide, Shimano has a wide, most all are about 2 bills.
