Ditto Amanda's "waaahhhh"--the closest REI to me is a 5-hour drive to Atlanta, and I covet those Sidi Dominators.

Good for you, though, twin--what a find!!!

Are Sidi's really all that? What makes 'em so?

[Aggie_Ama]

I don't know why Sidis are all that. The ones I tried on just felt marvelous. I think it is because I have a narrow foot and they have a padded tongue. They just hugged my feet.

My DH got some for Mountain Biking as his second pair and couldn't stop telling me how fabulous he thinks they are.

i've been told they have a very stiff sole, and are comfortable. this comes from a guy though. not sure how the women's compares.
he said he use to have other pairs, and then he found sidi and wondered why he ever owned another pair.

be happy you can drive. its a two and a half hour flight for me and you don't even want to know what the plane ticket costs!

i was thinking about a pair too, though they aren't on sale online. what's up with that?!

OK, you win, CWR!
I've heard the same things about Sidis--very stiff and very comfy. Also, unfortunately, very pricey, which is what makes sbctwin's find so great. Good for you, twin!

I had logged onto REI at 5am and put the sidi road shoes in my shopping cart...when I went to checkout, they were no longer available. I had my eye on them since the fall when I saw they had the '.83' at the end of their price (code: we will be half off last price on super clearance, if we make it that long ). I watched as the 38's disappeared online and at the store. I had tried on the 39's last fall, so I knew they would be ok if that was what I had to choose from. Luckily, I had planned to go to the store, took a vacation day and was close enough to an REI. I was soooo lucky to find both sidis just sitting there, like they were meant for ME . If they don't show up online anymore, that means they sold out and what is left is this years model...

They had a pair of them in Rose, size 39 last night, at the closest of the REI's to you - NE Expressway location...

Hey Pedal Wench--Thanks for the tip, but with the price of gas what it is, the 10-hour trip would probably cancel out the savings on the shoes. Like my grandfather used to say, I can't win for losing.
