I don't know. My feet are a boringly average 42, neither wide nor
narrow, and so common I often fit sample-shoe sizes.
MEC has a good page with lots of reviews:
<http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524
442619907&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302692667&bmUID=1223303517155>
They themselves claim that these are for "cool-to-cold" weather, and say
that below -10 C, you should use a "Sorel-style boot and flat pedals."
Since it gets to -10 in Vancouver, on average, about one evening a year,
I am unconcerned.
