I like my SIDIs alot....
I wear SIDI Zeta mesh road shoes (women specific) and use Keo Sprint pedals. I really like the shoes. I have no complaints, although I find that they're more comfortable on long rides if I wear a slightly thicker sock too. Most of the people that I polled at the various bike shops that I frequent recommended them over other brands and told me they'd last forever. The Zetas come with three velcro straps. I've heard some complaints about SIDI models that come with a ratcheted strap--that the ratchet comes loose after repeated use. For the money, the Zetas seemed like a better bet to me.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
