Cari,

I think, for your climate especially, you also need a pair of Shimano sandals. I can't tell you how much I love mine and how happy my feet are!! Someday when I am not lazy I am going to post my Sidi Lightnings for sale cheap- I just didn't get along with road shoes, and have the Sidi Rampa MTB shoes which I dearly love, but not as much as the sandals...
