New Sidi shoes. Does "want" = "need"?

[Blueberry]

I LOVE my red sidis. I'll mourn them when they're gone

Those are pretty cool - we can justify anything 'round here - so long as it's bike related...

[TxDoc]

Totally not my color... and I just spent a little fortune in the new Scott road limited shoes, so I may have to be good and not buy new shoes for a few months...

Adidas has red shoes, I have several Adidas shoes and love them. Depending on what you want to do with them (road or tri) they have three models in red:

1. adistar pro road (but you have to look for 2006 or 2007 models, because the 2008 is either black/white or silver http://www.glorycycles.com/adadroprocys.html)

2. adistar ultra

3. adistar tri carbon

I think Sidi genius 5 also has a red model, not sure though.

Ah, thanks Tx. My dh thinks I've finally gone raving mad and turned all fashion conscious, but dangnabbit, I WANT some red shoes to go with my red bike!

Never mind want or need -- these will convert me from mountain shoes to road shoes, they match my blue bike, the question is where to obtain them!!!

I could almost as easily slip into a pair of these:

Could you comment on the fit of these? I'm looking at them too, but I wear a 39.5 Sidi, and these are only whole sizes. Do they run big or small, narrow or wide? Are they as cute in person as they are online???

I'm not sure how to compare to Sidi because I've never been able to find a Sidi shoe that I could comfortably. This chart may help, I got it a while ago from a friend, it's on a German website, and that has measurements for several brands of cycling shoes: http://www2.bsn.de/Cycling/shoe-sizing.html
I usually wear Adidas that run on the small side, and so these looked like a more consistent sizing to me - but I did notice that they are a little narrower than Adidas.
If you wear 39.5 I would suggest to ask your bike shop to order 39 and 40 and try both. I guess you would fit more comfortably in a 40. It also depends on whether you wear any insoles/wedges in your cycling shoes...
And yes they are cute! I love the gold color with the red accents, and it goes well with one of my bikes that is yellow and gold...
