I've been drooling over Sidi's for a while but couldn't stomach paying the $270ish for a pair.
Someone's wife in another forum had these up for sale at a more stomachable price so I decided to try them.
No go for me. :(
My feet are a bit too wide and I guess I'm a 40.5 or a 41 or maybe I have to try the men's.
In US sizes I'm typically a 8.5 in sneakers, sometimes running into 9s (e.g. Keens). The Sidi's actually fit but my toes didn't have much clearance to the tip of the shoe, if that helps you gauge size any... I knew it was going to be a close call when I bought them but was hoping against hope that they'd fit me. But after a couple rides though they fit I'd be nervous riding in them for more than 20 miles after your feet swell.
So they can be yours. He said his wife only rode in them like 5-7 times and I only rode in them twice. They're kinda scuffed on the bottom from having been ridden in but otherwise they look pretty darn new.
Here's sizing info from Sidi's site: http://www.sidiusa.com/2005_Sidi_Sizing_Ruler.pdf

Paypal - $95 + shipping from CA via USPS
Check, MO - $90 + shipping (will ship when check clears)
Bummed I couldn't get a pair of almost new Sidi's for under $100 but you can. I guess I'll just stay with my trusty Specialized shoes.
Don't really want to have deal with returns so they're yours once you buy 'em.
I also have a pair of Pearl Izumi Vagabond M3s in men's size 6.5 that fit me pretty well before I upgraded to my Specialized. (Yeah, I have a shoe thing) they're in pretty good shape. Let me know if you want pix and make me an offer if you're interested.
