    I would go with any if the DHB range on wiggle, just use the size chart to get the correct fit but I'd say your a medium.

    Shoes are slightly different. I currently have 4 different pairs of Diadora shoes (3 x road, 1 x MTB) as they fit me very very well and are excellent quality but you may have to try some on in shops to get your proper size.

    For reference. I wear 44 in Diadora and Shimano. In normal every day shoes I wear 44 in Nike, 44 in Puma, 44.6 in Adidas and 44 in New Balance running shoes.

    Great I had a look at the DHB stuff and the prices seem ok also the reviews on the range are very positive. I'll chat with them re padding and size.
    I'll also go and try on some shoes for size in the local shops.
    Thanks for the help Cee-jay-Cee.
