Who would buy TE custom colored bike shoes?

[Susan Otcenas]

Love the red Sidis. I am in need of new shoes and just got a red bike. I wonder if these will come in a large women's size though (45)?

They don't make women's in 45, I'm afraid. I wish they would. Women's feet are getting larger in general, but the cycle shoe manufacturers have not kept up.

That red vernice (the gloss red finish) is available on one or two styles of men's Sidi that are only available in Europe. You might be able to bop around on some euro sites and find a men's shoe that might work. Most of them will be color-matched with black though, not white.

That's what I was afraid of. Oh well.

And, while we are at it, what will the smallest size be?

36! Which is pretty dang small. We will only have 3 pair in that size, so if you need 'em small, you'll want to get in early.

And how do we do that? Are you accepting pre-orders?

Trying to keep the whine level low.

Oh, those shoes are stunning!

We got the prototype from Italy this week. Absolutely beautiful!

Do we get to pre-order?

Do we get to pre-order?

We could arrange that, yes. I need to get a style number designation from Sidi before we can create the units in our accounting system. But once that's complete, yes, we can do pre-orders.

We are only building 100 pairs the first go-around, so these will be some very exclusive shoes, Imelda!

Excellent! I'll take a pair in 38.5.

If the shoe fits, wear it.

Sooner or later spring will actually have sprung here in Oregon and hoping to be stylin' these. Any news?

So Susan, what color are you ordering?

[nuliajuk]

I wish someone made custom fit shoes. I could care less about the color, but I'd love to have something that is both wide enough for my toes and narrow enough for my heels.
I'll take my Sidi shoes to a shoe repair shop and see if I can get them stretched, but I'm not holding my breath.

Amen. My Sidis don't provide enough room in the toe box, but my heel slips out of about every other brand that I've tried.

Sidi makes the Ergo and the Dragon with adjustable heels. Both are men's shoes (a medium width men's is the same as a wide width women's: basically a D width). The heels have an adjustment mechanism that allows you to narrow them down to hug your feet better.

They don't make them in women's, so we don't carry them. But since it sounds like women's are too narrow for you anyway, a men's with an adjustable heel might be just the ticket for you!
