I have been wearing Sidi shoes since the 90�s (I still have a pair from 2003) I wear a 38.5 or 39 and have a fairly narrow foot�these are perfect! I also like that a there are replacement parts and they are women specific shoes. This particular shoe is a little more relaxed than my race specific Sidi�s and I wear them for long training rides and on my fixed gear Duende Pegoretti made and painted by the master himself, Dario Pegoretti. I�m a Sidi customer thru and thru.
I've worn a pair of Sidi road shoes for probably about 20 years, but realized that I needed a new pair of road shoes that were a bit bigger and stiffer than my old Sidis. These had great reviews and looked to be a bit wider and WAY lighter than my heavy old Sidis. They were available at a great price, so I decided to take a chance. My first ride, the shoes were a little tight on my heels and caused a bit of pain on the front of my ankle. But after just a few rides, they have adapted to my feet and I'm super happy with them! The partial-carbon soles are amazingly stiff yet comfortable. I can definitely feel the increase in power to my pedals with these shoes. It's almost like having a new, lighter bike, I'm so much quicker going up hills and on the flats. A great deal and a super shoe!
