Sidi shoes

[zoom-zoom]

Yep, they are narrow...but the heels aren't particularly narrow. I had a very pretty pair of metallic blue Sidi Dominators. I ended up selling them after about a year, as I was starting to develop nerve problems in my feet from them being compressed in a too-narrow pair of shoes. I have a very wide foot. I now wear heat-moldable Louis Garneau men's shoes (I have both the road and mtn. version of the same shoe, I love them so much), which really fit like a dream AND have a narrow heel...I have duck feet.

Sidi wasn't sold, the American distributor was. Sidi's are made in Romania but the company maintains their quality control.

I have an older pair of mtn bike shoes and a pair of road shoes I bought last year and just got the white ones this year and they all fit the same. Can't say that for other companies.

I have the shoes you are talking about, I think, and I've been very happy with them. I do use E-Soles in them. They are white and they're not as hard to take care of and keep clean as I thought they'd be.

I love the adjustable strap over the instep, gives me more room over my high instep.

I too have the Sidi Genius 5 Pro carbon with e-soles -- I have the black ones. I like them a lot. Make sure to get the sizing right. On normal street shoes, I wear a 39, but on the Sidis I wear a 41.

I wear the SIDI MTB dominators and I love them and I do not have narrow feet. They fit me so nicely!

I too have the Sidi Genius 5 Pro carbon . . . On normal street shoes, I wear a 39, but on the Sidis I wear a 41.

This. Also, I have wide feet and the Sidis are fine. Mine are white with blue flowers. I'm not normally a flowery type of girl, but I love these shoes so much.

I have two pairs of Sidi's, both men's because i can't stand flowery shoes. I gave the Sidi rep at a big bike store a hard time about that a few years ago because they did not offer black shoes for women. Not that he could do anything about it, but it felt good to at least express my disappointment.

I have the mountain bike shoes (not the Dominators because those are out of my budget, but someday...) and the winter boots, which I picked up used here on the TE forums. Both are great shoes.

What is an e sole? I usually wear a 6.5 in regular shoes, but wear a 39 in cycling shoes.

It's a brand of insoles that you heat in the oven before inserting them into your shoes. I have and like them.

I have the same shoe you're considering. I like them, but I would suggest trying them on before purchasing. They only fit a specific type of foot--as others have mentioned. I otherwise like them quite a bit.

The neat thing is that you can chose the level of arch support and whether to have metatarsal support or not. A bit pricey, but they will last many years in my shoes.

+1. I have a women's LG shoe. LOVE it. (sorry to derail the thread! I just REALLY love my shoes - way better than the Specialized I started with).

Thanks you guys. I do have wider feet, so I will take that into consideration.

My sneakers are New Balance size 9D, but my Sidis are perfectly comfortable.
