Both my husband and I have very wide feet. Some might say his feet are harder to fit because of his exceptionally high arch.
Therefore, if you’re looking for cycling shoes for wide feet–whether you have a Peloton or not–I think you’ll want to read on.
Peloton shoes for wide feet
As I’ve mentioned, Bill has wide feet. The Peloton bike shoes do not come in varying widths. So he was worried that he would not fit his extra wide feet with high arches.
So, do Peloton shoes fit wide feet? Well, guess what? The shoes fit perfectly. They were a little snug around the front.
But the two Velcro straps across the top allowed for his high arch. And the ratchet strap also allowed enough room for the shoes to be snug but not too tight.
If you wear a half size, I would recommend sizing up. Some people have reported that the Peloton spin shoes run small.
Others, like my husband, feel like they fit true to size. Then again, he’s a size 13 and he was able to get a size 43 in Peloton spin shoes.
So I’ll say it again. If you wear a half size, it’s probably better to size up in the Peloton bike shoes.
Other non-Peloton cycling shoe alternatives include wide widths
If, for whatever reason, you decide not to buy your bike shoes on the from Peloton, you have plenty of other options. Back in 2016 I went to my local cycle store to get my Bontrager brand bike shoes.
Like my husband I have wide feet. So they recommended I get a brand that would take the Look Delta cleat and came in wide. I got the Bontrager brand.
These are my original Bontrager brand of Peloton bike shoes. You can buy them, for under $100, at REI.com.
Women’s wide width cycling shoes
FYI, in everyday shoes, I can wear anything from an 8WW to a 9W. Sometimes I’m an 8.5.
In my bike shoes I got a size 42. In this brand that was the equivalent of a size 9. The label on the inside actually says “wide.”
Here, I’ve collected a variety of wide cycle shoes for Peloton. These are cycling shoes for wide feet that come in a wide width and will work with your Peloton bike.
Best Peloton Shoes for Wide Feet
There are a couple of websites that sell cycling shoes for wide feet that you can use with your Peloton. The websites include Trekbikes.com, REI.com and Backcountry.com.
As far as the brands offering wide widths in shoes for the Peloton bike, these include Bontrager (which I wear), Sidi, Lake and Shimano. I've included links to some of these brands and website here.
FYI, since stores like REI have physical locations around the country, it's always possible to buy online and then use curbside pickup, if your shoes are in stock at your local store.
You can buy Bontrager brand of cycling shoes on the REI website. You can also find Bontrager shoes that take the Delta Look cleats on Trekbikes.com. Bontrager does not sell on Amazon.

Peloton Altos Cycling Shoes
When Peloton introduced the Altos cycling shoe, I decided to see if they would fit my wide foot. So, I visit the Peloton store at the Ross Park Mall in Pittsburgh. It’s near where I live.
FYI, while you cannot buy Peloton shoes at a Peloton store, you can try them on. Then, they can order them for you to be shipped to your home.
Also, you can buy your Peloton shoes on Amazon. However, if you buy from the Peloton store, the nice employees there get a commission.
Anyway, I was surprised at how comfortable the Altos shoes were on my wide foot. They have much more stretch than the original Peloton shoes.
Also, they have a Velcro strap across the top. This provides a little bit of give if you have a wide foot like I do.
