SIDI Dominator 5 shoes

[Trekhawk]

Thanks, Denise, I think you're right. I had looked at the sizing chart, and it's still sorta vague. I'm thinking of ordering the 39.5 and the 40 and then send one pair back. I'll call TE when I order instead of online. They are so very helpful.......

Hey Aint Doody I wear a 7 1/2 shoe and my Sidi Doms are a 41 so are my Genius so you might need to go bigger than the 40.

I wear a 7 to a 7-1/2, my Sidi size is 39. They do run small. The Sidi web-site has sizing guidelines, including a template you can print out to measure your foot.

OK! I've printed out the sizing chart. That's a wonderful feature! Thanks, Squirrel. I haven't tried it out just yet, but I will. And Trekhawk, I appreciate your input on the sizing, too. I guess I'll know when I try a pair on! I cannot wait.

Be sure to size for whatever socks you will be wearing. I have worn size 6 in just about everything since adulthood. The 38 fits like a glove with a pair of thin Defeet cycling socks without much room for swelling which my feet do a lot in hot weather. When I road bike this is OK, but when I mtbike I just have to have a tad more space because my feet are moving around a lot more. I use a 38.5 for mtbiking in hot weather or if I want to wear multiple socks. Hey, another reason for multiple pairs of shoes (not to mention I hate putting on wet shoes when I'm riding consecutive days).

I'm about a women's size 9 and I think my correct Sidi size is 40.5.

I wear 8.5 (sometimes 9) in dress shoes and sandals, 9 (thin socks) or 9.5 (thick Thorlo socks) in ASICS running shoes.

Even though I was sized at 41.5 with the "official" Sidi foot-measuring device, my Sidi Bullets are size 41 and they're a little too big for me. When I do long rides in hot weather I wear them with thick socks (Defeet Cush 3D's). While riding at night when it's cooler here, I sometimes have to add an extra insole to make them fit right.

So when I buy my next Sidis, which will most likely be road shoes, I'll probably go for size 40.5.

Good luck and enjoy your purchase!

Wow see this is weird my foot is definitely no bigger than a US 7.5 and I wear 41 Sidi. Are you talking about US sizes? I find it hard to imagine someone with a foot bigger than mine fitting into a smaller cycle shoe than I have. Hmm very bizarre.

Trek, I can't figure that out either. I did the shoe sizer deal & I get a 41.5. I found out that a shop in the next town carries the Genius and that it's built on the same last as the Dominator 5. I'm gonna make a trip there and try them on and then have somebody order me the size I need. Shoe fit is a tricky business.
