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 love my Sidi Doms, and I have a very high arch. When I last tried on other shoes and chose the Sidis, they were the only shoe that fit my arch.

You can always order them, see if they fit, and return them if they don't...

To me "low volume" feet would mean low mileage. Now enquiring minds want to know what it really Does mean! lol
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
