Why are Sidi shoes the bomb?
What makes them worth the price?

I have the rose mtb shoes. I like them because they fit very well. They are quite stiff, but not uncomfortable to walk in. The closing mechanism is easy to adjust as you ride to make the shoes looser or tighter.
I got mine last year when my Specialized shoes starting giving me hot foot. They made that problem go away.![]()

In over 20 years of cycling, Sidis Dominators/Genius are the first shoes that fit my very high instep, narrow heel and have a wide enough toe box, plus a stiff sole and durable parts.
This is where TrekHawk comes in with some Imelda remark.

I'm going to have to try these, once I get back to riding more regularly (DON'T YOU LAUGH SADIEKATE!!) I like these:

Everything above. They are stiff, yet comfortable, and fit me like a glove. I too have narrow heels and problems with other shoes fitting. (I ride dominators).
I bought the cheapest ones - two strap velcro closure, no ratchet, etc etc. They're MTB shoes and I adore them. I've got rather large feet and the half size made for a perfect fit.

I'm not, I'm not! Only because I like them also and I have shoe fetish problems. The blue would be so much nice than old boring black on my mtbike. Besides, Snap, the blue is so YOU!
OK, I also have rose and bronze in the Doms also. But the pink ones have to be kept clean for around town and the bike path. I can hear you, TrekHawk!

Huh.. thanks for the replies.
I was just wondering for a few reasons:
1) my feet get cramps when i have my shoes on tight but when i loosen them sp they don't cramp then they feel too loose
2) maybe sidi's will help
3) i get to buy something else cycling
4) i currently have mtb pedals. thinking i can try road pedals for spin class to see if maybe the wider platforms also help since the cramps happen on the outside edge of my feet.
fyi: i get these cramps with other sports as well, most notably skiing (cross country to down hill). i don't ski anymore tho.
