Hi there - just out of curiosity, what size do you wear in regular shoes? I've read in some threads that Sidis run a little small. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any to try on so I'm not sure what size I would need. In looking at Sidi's web site, I think I'd need a 41. But just in case, I thought I'd find out what your normal size is! Thanks!!!

Sidi sizing
Hi! I wear a size 7 in ordinary shoes, 7.5 in most tennis type shoes, and in my Specialized "Torch" road shoes (that don't hurt my knees) I wear a size 39. I think it would be wise to try on a pair of Sidis somewhere to be sure! Tokie

Bummer! These would definitely be too small for me then
Thanks for the info though! Good luck selling them!

Sidis for sale
Sorry Sara! I am looking into seeing if it is worthwhile to have shims put in to adjust the way the shoe is angled in the cleat and pedal. I like the Sidis better than the Specialized as far as the shoe part goes, they are really nice. The specialized do have a very roomy toe box, while still having a secure fitting heel, and some riders really like that. Good luck!

Good luck to you too, Tokie! I was really hoping I'd be able to break in my PI shoes but they are killing me. Major "hot spots" and tingling numb toes. My feet are super narrow so I have this funny feeling it's going to be expensive to find shoes that actually fit properly without buying them a size too small, which I think is the problem with the PIs. Guess I need to find a store that has Sidis in stock! I hope the shims do the trick for you! Or that you find someone to buy this pair!!!

sara, Sidis come in a narrow width (at least the men's do). You may not be able to find them instock just anywhere, so call around first.

Tokie,
How did the size 40 sidi's fit you? Were they too big or about right?
I'm about a half size bigger than you (measure a size 7.5), and I have a pair of Sidi mountain shoes in size 39 that are a very snug but wearable fit (no room to wiggle my toes though!), and a pair of cheap Shimano road shoes, also in size 39, that fit much larger and are actually a bit sloppy on me. I haven't tried on a 40 Sidi but it might be a good fit for me...
