    I posted about SIDI's recently, so you may have already read my comments on same. I have a very long, but very narrow foot. I have found that SIDI's are good for people with narrow feet, yet that doesn't mean they are bad for people with wide feet. My husband does not have narrow feet and loves his SIDI's. In general, SIDI's seem to be made to sort of mold around your foot, whichever shape it is.

    The regular men's shoes were too wide for me, so I tried ordering a women's shoe. But I needed a 44 length and they only sell women's up to 43. So, I opted for the men's narrow. I have such a stupid foot length and width that I couldn't simply go try on a bunch of shoes. Hopefully, you won't have that same problem. I've only warn mine a couple of times and, so far, my right heel seems to be a little too roomy, yet my left is not. I'm still playing around with the right tightening. Over all, they are WAY better than my Shimanos. I have SIDI Genius 5's.

    Did you try Specialized?

    I have Specialized shoes which have a really high toe box -- perfect for my small wide feet. My friend Gail found the Specialized really uncomfortable, but the Sidis fit her longer narrower feet perfectly.

    On my first Century ride last month, I did notice that almost all the Sidi wearers were taking their shoes off at mile 75!

    Re: Shoe covers

    Shoe covers rock - I have neoprene ones that I bough when my feet froze on the bike path. Wool socks are good to add too.

    I saw some serious bike guys in shorts, in May, still wearing the shoe covers. Maybe they know something.
