Several weeks ago my feet problems became unbearable. Not only could I
not ride, walking was painful. I had one pair of old sandals that I
could wear to walk, and they fell apart. I finally did what I should
have done long ago....
The foot doctor said, "hmmmm, you've got big nasty corns on several of
your toes. It's no wonder your feet hurt."
I can't do anything about my neuropathy, but now I've gotten rid of
the corns.
I did a small ride yesterday on the heel sling pedals and size 12
sneakers. The issues with my feet were much less of a problem. I'm
going to try going back to SPD pedals and shoes. Doctor says get a big
toe box and use heel liners. My last bike shoes were UE47s, and I just
bought a pair of UE48s. I think that transfers to 12/13. I believe I
wore 10.5 when I was in college.
Maybe it will work, maybe not. I gotta ride.

My foot size is 44-45 Brazilian, but I buy size 47 tennis
shoes/sneakers because my feet have become wider and my toes stick out
at angles due to arthritis.
Size 47 are much more comfortable. No more blisters.

PS I'm bigger than you, 6ft 4".

I'm told your feet get bigger as you grow older.

Oh dear, my son clocked in normally at European size 48, Shimano shoes
size 49 when he was 15. Above 50 it would be almost impossible to rent >skiing or ice skating shoes.
