And men wonder why we shop so often? Even among brands I like--they change sizing one year to the next, or even between styles the fit is different. And shoes are easy compared to what's between neck and ankle!

But on the Sidi--true they are smaller. I wouldn't want to wear the 38 walking around much, but comfortable for riding (road). But add in how thick are your socks, and how your toes are shaped, etc. will affect what fit you like.

But I still say for us gals with smaller feet, we can often benefit by scouring in the clearance racks!
