for wide feet Lake is the way to go. Three different lasts and all with wide options. True wide, not just more material in the upper as Shimano does but with a wider footbed. Works for me. Sorry they didn't send you a sample. Their loss, but the shoes are the real deal. They have come a long way since they started in early 90's or so. Models with lace and with boa. That's all

I have the 3 pairs of VR90s and they are almost perfect. For me, the more perfecter shoe is the Pearl X-Project Pro. They are stupid expensive, but they have lasted almost 4 years. I have done all of my ultra-endurance gravel and bike packing races in them. They are super easy to walk in. They are not as light as the VR90s but they are also much easier to get on and off, as well as adjust as your feet swell after many hours on the bike.

As for Shimano, my 2 cents on it being someone with very wide feet, I find Shimano standard shoe sizes still far too narrow. With their "wide" option being still just a hair too long but with correct width. As in wearing a size 45 wide it is a bit too long but correct width, yet a size 44.5 is correct length but not wide enough. The solution for me has been custom molding insoles Shimano sells that you heat to shape. Basically going the correct shoe width and then using the insole too correctly adjust the fit. Historically the only shoes I've ever been able to find that 100% fit my feet correctly have been Bont shoes that allow you to mold the entire base of the shoe to your foot. Just my two cents on the matter with currently Shimano CX7 shoes.

Liked your review, thanks. I have worn out two generations of Giro Privateers, the 2nd much better than the first. I like the tactile connection of nylon vs. carbon. I have Grio VR 90's as well, and although I can definitely feels the better power transfer, they are less ventilated, comfortabl and a bit stiff for walking over technical bits. I am NOT a fan of laces, even if you think they look cool, so silly. But, I don't think they make Privateers with Velcro or their Boa/lower Velcro strap combo's. I currently am running Giro Cylinders, fit decent but not the upper support of Privateers with Velcro and ratchet strap. I use Crank Bros. Eggbeaters and they depend on the sole for engagement/connection, so wore them out beyond contact sleeves. Giro Rincon may be the closest current version of the Privateers.

I wear a 12D men’s dress shoe, and found Giro Empire and VR90 fit around a 46.5, Rumble in 46, Cylinder in 46 which start snug, but seemed to stretch out after 500 miles, and the Shimano RX8 ran small so a 47 fits well with roomy toes, but a low toe box, but crazy stiff and not too hot. Shimanos winter shoes and boots though run big and I sized to a 46 and still have room for wool socks. I know its a lot of shoes but I like to rotate, depending on type of ride, bike, kit, and weather.

Can confirm Shimano for wide feet. Fizik X5 were too narrow to me. I have the SH-XC7 in the wide variant and they‘re very roomy. I might have even gotten away with the regular, not wide. Dual Boa, Michelin rubber sole on carbon, stiffness 9. I did bikepacking, regular tarmac/road biking and gravel/singletrail riding and they were almost perfect. Only downside: when I had to push my packed bike up a very steep forest incline I had to significantly tighten the top Boa to not slip out on my heel. I‘d give them a 8/10.
