perhaps less expensive if you have to pay full retail.... being petite isn't always an asset, but small feet are niceoh - and Sidis run small... no winter boot really comes small enough for me. At least Sidis that are 2 sizes too large can work with thick socks. Lakes in my experience run big. Lakes 2 sizes too big probably wouldn't even stay on my feet...
As far as why winter gear.... my summer stuff is pretty much all team kit, so its dictated by what ever we are ordering, not my choices.
I did get switch from Sidi to Specialized carbon shoes this summer. I really like them. 1 - in my very small size I could get carbon soles (not so for Sidis - the carbon soled shoes don't come small enough) 2. they have a nice wide toe box, but still have a narrow heel - they stay put, but don't pinch my toes 3. they are much more economical than Sidis
