Size question-AM45 owners

[The_Taurean]

Hi folks, Long time lurker here, finally found a question that search couldn't answer.

I've decided to go clipless and the combo I've settled on is XT trail pedals and Shimano AM45 shoes. I'll be buying online as I'm in Toowoomba and there's no shoes around in stock. I wear a size 11 shoe normally and I've measured my feet at 283mm long and fairly narrow. The sizing guides online suggest that Euro 46 is the go (given I'd rather go slightly large than slightly small) but I was hoping to 'ground truth' the sizing on here.

So, AM45 owners, what size do you wear in Australian shoes? And what would you recommend for me? Thanks guys.

Rob.

The euro sizing for your size should be fine. Shimano shoes tend to be on the narrow side so you'd only want to upsize if you didnah have clown feet.

Size 9 US and the Am45 in 43 is very comfy they are not narrow pretty normal width.

I think my runners are US11 or maybe 12 and my am40s are a good fit in 46.

Thanks for the replies guys, that's given me the confidence to go ahead and order them.

I've got 3 pairs or Shimano shoes 1x road, 2x MTB including a pair of AM45's. I wear size 12's UK, 12.5 US sizing and wear 48's across Shimano's range.

I wear size 11 US and have AM45's in Euro 46.

One thing to be mindful with these shoes is the inside ankle protector of the shoe rubbed on my cranks pretty badly. This might not worry you but worth considering if it does.

Everyone I know goes up a size with a Shimano. I wear 47 in every other brand of shoe (cycling or not). With Shimano I wear 48.

I wear a Euro 45 in an asics shoe and my Am45's are the same And spot on.
