Oh my they're pretty! It makes me very sad that the description says they're for "low volume" feet. Mine do NOT fit that description!!!

I tried to get a second pair. I don't really need them... so I got the veto. They aren't quite reduced enough. They are great shoes though.
I was gonna sneak in that top... oh well.

If you can't have the shoes, you should at least get the top as a consolation prize. It matches the "old" shoes so well!

Doesn't "low volume" typically mean "not for high arches?" I wear (different) Sidis, and I have average arches and wide toes/narrowish mid foot/average heels.

Not sure about high volume. I have what I call "tall feet." Somewhat narrow forefoot and heel, but astronomically high instep and arch made even higher with orthotics (gotta get me some cycling specific orthotics). I take out the insole and extend the buckle strap to it's max. Only shoe (with the Genius)I've ever found that fits my instep properly. The previous model without the adjustable instep strap doesn't extend far enough -- just like the other bagillion shoes of the same generation. I won't admit to how many pairs of Genius/Dom 4/5s I own.

I totally understand, Imelda. I love shoes.
