Question about Sidi shoes

[salsabike]

Sidis run narrow. Those of us with wide feet often buy the men's Sidis, which are wider in both their regular and their extra wide sizes.

I second Salsa. They are quite narrow. Regardless, the tongue shouldn't touch your arch though. I do find the tongue is long and rides up the front of my leg a bit. I know womens Nike's have a much wider toe box so maybe a different brand would be more comfortable if the mens version doesn't fit for you.

I would try a different model. When you wear a mans shoe to accommodate width you might lose proper heel fit. Womens feet, even when wide, still tend to retain a narrower heel

Silly me - I meant the tongue is pressing against my instep, not arch.

Thanks for your advice.

sorry to hijack the thread a bit... but on the question of sizing.... do you all find that you wear a larger size in the Sidis???? I tried some on in my regular size this weekend (they were a tad short) and am going to have to guess at the size based on what I tried on and it seems I need to order .5 larger... is this typical?

[Zen]

tprevost, yes, I believe it is

I agree. I normally wear a 41 or 42 in Euro sizes just call me Sasquach but when I recently bought a pair of Sidi Dominators I had to get a 42.5

I have had similar foot problems. Sidis were too narrow for me. I now wear a pair of men's Lake shoes size 40. The men's have a D width. the women's are a B. They even have a wider variety available in men's sizes.

There are the Sidis Megas, but could never find them in my size.

take care of your feet and get the right shoes.

Rookie.

Try a 43 sometime.

Can't even get women's Sidi's in my size. All I can do is wonder about them.
