Sidi Winter Freeze shoes -- opinions?

[KathiCville]

Hi.........I found Sidi Winter Freeze shoes for a pretty good price at Nashbar over the weekend (sale price plus a 20% off coupon = @$100 versus the retail price of $229). I went ahead and ordered them in a couple of sizes while they're still in stock. (Return one; keep one).........

Here's the link (not that there's much info):

Anybody have this particular model? If so, what do you think of them? I've read mixed reviews about how warm they really are. (Which might be why they're on sale??).....I'll probably send 'em back if the reviews are mostly negative....Both sizes I ordered are larger than what I would normally wear, so I'll have plenty of room for socks and circulation.

I mainly ride a road bike. Planning to ride through the winter if I can keep my toes and hands warm enough. I've got plenty of gloves at this point, plus SmartWool socks and a Goretex "sock" liner. And I bought a few of the hand and toe chemical warmers yesterday to try out. (Can you tell that I have a horror of cold, LOL!?) ...................Thanks!
