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.

Do they only go up to size 43?

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

Another vote to TE custom socks!

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

Love the red Sidis.

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.

Well, not me, no

Are the largest going to be size 43?

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

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.

I'm so glad that y'all like your red Sidis...because then I get to buy your formerly-loved black ones from you for good price. You know who you are--thanks!!

(I'm definitely a black shoe and black shorts person)

The shoes are pretty, but I had to stop wearing the red Sidis I already had. My regular shoe size is 36-36.5 and even wearing the 38s in Sidis, I was having issues, pain, hot spots. Since Sidi is the only brand I have ever worn, I was shocked when I switched to Shimanos. The wide toe box and the custom fitting system for the road shoes was superb. I did have to change out the inner soles for thinner ones, as my feet seem to be super sensitive to even a millimeter of extra padding. The mountain shoes I got for my other bike are just as nice.
I would buy the socks, though.

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.
