Hi folks, just a quick one for you, I'm looking for some flat pedal shoes & I have come across [url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/teva/2012-links-mid-shoes-ec037553 ]These Teva Links[/url] & I was wondering if anyone knows how they size up? I'm normally a size 9, but have a fairly wide foot, anyone care to give guidance?

Many thanks in advance.

I just got another Teva shoe, the Crank.

Normally a 9.5, bought size 10, fits better than expected. So if Links are same they may come up slightly small.

I tried a pair on at the weekend, they were a little narrow/tight fitting IMO.

I have a pair of [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Royal-Arch-Water-Proof-Orange/dp/B0055AUNWU ]these[/url] in UK 11, I'm normally UK 11 and they're spot on.

Take a size 10 normally, Links in 10 fit me perfectly, a really comfortable shoe.

Just got myself some Teva links in size 9, seem ok size wise, maybe not quite as wide as my previous 5.10s but still comfortable

I've got a pair of Links Mid, picked up in a sale last year.
I found I had to go up a size, but I have quite wide feet so that's quite normal for me.

They are pretty narrow size wise, I'm a 10 and bought a 10 which fit but are still a little narrow for my liking. They certainly don't stick like 5.10s to pedals either. That said I still like them but preferred my old freriders.

Thanks all, some difference of opinion as to go up a size or not so I guess I'll have to take a chance one way or the other.

Cheers.

They are definitely narrower than 5:10s if that's any help,and don't grip as well either!
Check e bay for some cheaper Teva links.

I used the size chart on their site and the fit on mine was perfect.

I find they had the same fit as Salomon: smidge narrow, smidge small (but did not change my size). I am 9, took Teva 9.

I have slightly wide feet, take a UK 11 in everything else and the Links Mid in UK 11 are fine for me, comfy enough that I don't notice them at all when I'm riding. Soles aren't as sticky as my Freeriders (no surprise), but they do ok.

Thanks again, I looked at their sizing chart & to them I am actually a size 8, so I think I will risk the size 9.

Cheers all.

A quick update for others who may be wondering, mine turned up today & they are slightly narrow for me, but I won't be sending them back as they are not overly tight & I think they will give enough for me not to notice it.

Many thanks to all of those that offered advice.

Cheers.
