Feels full size too small

Feels true to width

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I placed different orders for two styles of Northwave Cycling Road Shoes. I am returning both pairs due to the size being too small. I normally wear a size 45. (USA sizing 10.5). I followed the Northwave sizing chart, which is different from some other companies and ordered size 43 or USA size 10.5. The shoes were too small. I reordered the Northwave Revenge Road Cycling Shoe, because the other style that I had originally ordered was not available in a larger size. This time I followed the sizing chart, but ordered size 44 or USA size 11. The shoes are still a little too short. The width does seem to be comparable to a size D width. My suggestion for anyone ordering Northwave cycling road shoes is to go one size up from the chart listed with the shoes.
