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.
