Thanks for cluing me in. I haven't been paying attention to the current offerings from Sidi. I very much like everything I'm seeing in the photos of that shoe. Definitely going to check 'em out.
Curious question about shoe choice Flat or not?

No. They just seem to be naturally wide.

Oof, hope you went up at least a half size. Maybe theyve changed them, but i tried them a few years ago and had to get a 48 (which would equate to 13.5-14 in US) for them to be just barely wide enough and even then they squeezed my toes. In running shoes im 12.5-13 2e. riding shoes im always a 13. Ride Concepts Powwerline seem to be wider than the 2fo.
I sont know of any flat pedal shoe model that is offered in both regular and wide-one has to hope to find a model that is inherintly wider. Its rough out there for us ducks.

Aw man! Really? Oh well I guess I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best, I already ordered them. Maybe have to return them, I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I didn't go up a size

I like these Ecco hiking shoes ( cuz I HAB a lot 
) This is my third pair in 8 years of riding Mtn. Bikes. I like my Hope 20 Flat Pedals the best for pedals but I ruined my first pair of Eccos because the center pins on the pedals ate through the sole. I've since removed those pins. I was entertaining clipped in systems before I rode Kokopelli with IMTB thinking I needed all the help I could get. I got into a discussion with our Sparkletts water delivery guy who said his kid was clipped in going down Lizard trail, couldn't unclip when he got in trouble and went over the bars. His kid suffered a bad spinal injury. I decided at that point that maybe clipped in pedals wasn't for me.

My experience too. 510's are naturally wide. I have a size 12 wide forefoot too. What ever you do do not buy Giro flat shoes!

I agree @Tom the Bomb. I wear size 12 and have wide feet. The regular Freerides fit me fine. The Freeride Pro have a narrow toe box and were too tight for me.

These are Ecco Men's Esphino Speed lace Hiking shoes. Amazon shows it to be discontinued. This black colored pair have been sitting on my shelf for a while.
