I too was going to suggest shopping here at TE for the sidi shoes. I am giving the bike shop until tomorrow (2 weeks later for a 2 day delivery). And if they don't call, I am calling TE to see about a pair of Sidi's. I didn't realize that had shoes also, I thought it was just clothes and socks..the shopping here just gets better..I wear an 8 in my shoes I have present, which converts to a 39 Nike brand. The Sidi I tried on was 39.5, and it was okay and doable, but I want to see what the 40 fit like before I doled over the $$. My feet are so funny and I need to make that comparison to be sure. For what they cost, I want to be right. And I tried on some less expensive shoes, and those Sidi's won out. But everyone has different prefrences and shape of feet, so make sure they (which ever brand you decide on) fit you and you feel comfortable in them. Good luck, let us know how you make out..
