A lovely shoe but...

Familiarity:: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I had these in a 40.5 (Directly from Rapha) but they pinched and then a 41 from CC which was a bit too long for me and my foot slid from front to back. I really wanted to keep these beautiful shoes but they weren't quite wide enough for my wider right foot, otherwise I would still be wearing them. I have taken a 40 in the past with Giro and Specialized, but now need to go with a wide shoe; Rapha doesn't offer them in wide. They are a very well made, handsome shoe, easy to walk in, just not the right fit for me.
