Advice on shoe sizing, Fizik

[Clancy]

Looking to get a pair of the Fizik R5B Uomo, need some ideas on sizing. In Giro's I wear a 43, in Sidi's I wear a 43.5. I'll be ordering these from the web. There's none carried locally that I can try on before ordering.

If anyone is wearing Fiziks, can you give some advice on sizing? Especially compared to other brands would be awesome.

Thanks

That would be unethical anyway, so I'm sure you wouldn't take advantage of your LBS and do that.

In my experience, they run about the same size as Giro, and I had to try on Sidis about a half size larger.

So you should be fine ordering the same size as your Giros.

I'm a 43.5 in Sidi and in Fizik. I tried a 43 Fizik and it was just too tight for me.

But, mine are older Fiziks and I've heard that the sizing has changed a bit since then. The general consensus I've read seems to agree with Flash.

I'm guessing you didn't see if my post that no LBS carries these?

And I'm guessing you're the ethics committee?

Yes. ;)

Buy both and send back that which does not fit.

I am a solid 46 in Sidi, always have been, and I've had two pairs now of Fizik, both 45s and both fit like slippers.
