SIDI

Some of the reviews that I read before purchasing mentioned a loose fit in the heel or heel lift. I notice this a little when I walk in them, but it has not been an issue when I ride in them. I like these shoes.

It took a few adjustments but I now love these shoes. I use them only for spin class, so I purchased them, and added the Look Delta cleats. They felt great off the bike - I have a slightly wide foot, and these were much better than the shoes I had previously used. However, the first 2 rides were super painful - about 20 minutes in, the ball of my foot was hurting and my feel were getting hot. I had read the Sidi insoles can take awhile to break in, so I continued. Then I stopped at a bike shop - they adjusted my cleats (moving them as far down as possible). This helped slightly, but not significantly, so they recommended I try replacing the insoles with the Pearl Izumi adjustable insoles, which totally did the trick! Now I love them. So if you're getting any pain, don't bother suffering through it, just get some insoles!

I have a wide foot with a high instep. These Sidi Mega fit better than any other brand I have used. I normally buy 9 Wide - these 43 wide (Mega) fit well. Great cycling shoes!

These are probably the best mountain bike shoes in terms of fit, adustability and durability. They're not cheap, but my last pair have lasted for 7+ years of technical trail riding, and are still going strong, except for some cosmetic damage.

After trying many other brands, SIDI is the number one cycling shoe in design and performance. Genius 5 Pro Carbon, the best value. Other SIDI models are substantially more expensive and only a few grams lighter with simply a different enclosure system; but essentially the same shoe structure. Zappos always delivers!

I have mountain bike pedals on my road bike, so I was a bit limited for the shoes I could use. I am very happy to have found these SIDIs. They are very comfortable, have a nice rigid base, so I won't lose any power up my hills and they fit like a dream. I usually wear a size 7 in everything, these were marked 7.5/39.5. So the sizing is a bit strange, but they are great!

These shoes easily last 10 years. They are comfortable and perfect for quick on and off. Money well spent when you realize how long they last.

This is my second pair of SIDI Dominator 5 shoes. I use them both on my road bike and mountian bike with frogs. I love them. The last pair I lost after 3 years use and promptly got a new pair. BTW, Zappos shipping speed and customer service is amazing. Beware that the sizes run large. The mans 9 is at least a 9 1/2. I wear a 9 normally, but sized these at 8.25 (42).

I got these shoes after riding in a group of 8 guys and six of them were wearing these! After riding for over a year in cheaper all velcro shoes - these are so much better! Wow, they really lock my feet in there and allow me to precision adjust! These are great, I know they're pricey but you are getting what you pay for with these!

I have feet that are wide in the front but normal in the heel. These shoes are great for me (in wide) because they are wide enough in the front but the heel is snug enough not to slip. These also have a very comfortable upper, unlike some cycling shoes which seem to dig into various places on the top of my foot when tight. I gave them 4 stars for comfort only because the footbed is quite hard, and doesn't fit my foot perfectly. This is not a huge deal, because the insole is removable, so I will just replace it.

I ride a touring bike probably a couple hundred miles a week. I bought this new pair with the ratcheting (versus the cheaper 3-velcro strap version). I have high arches and I feel like SIDI misses here. I had to buy arch inserts, so now we are almost to a couple hundred dollars for a pair of cycling shoes... is it worth it?? Well, I have no numbness after 50 miles - I count this as positive. I DO feel like I achieve a good stride on the bike. I DO like the ratchet. I feel like it stabilizes my foot longer than with just Velcro. I can also get off the bike and walk around in these, so overall, I am happy.More on fit: I wear a 7.5 - in almost every shoe - an occasional 7. In European sizing I wear a 38 or 38.5. SIDIs sizing is way off. I could wear the 38.5, but a little on the snug size and then with the arch insert in place, I felt maxed out in the shoe - so I ended up with the 39s, which are a little big. Note, the web site calls their 39 a 7 - I just do not think this is true and have read this sizing problem on other sites that sell this shoes.

These are great cycling shoes. I got the max size so I could wear my insert. I like the upper strap being separate, so I can get the top tighter than the toes.

Fantastic shoes!! Very stiff, responsive, and super durable. The straps make for a customizable fit and are easily micro-adjusted while pedaling because of the ratchet buckle. The ratchet also allows you to really crank them tight on technical terrain when you want to make sure you can exit your pedals quickly! This is my second pair of these shoes...I only gave up the first pair because my feet have grown a half size. They thrived through 11 years of substantial use and were still going strong! These will last forever and are worth every penny.

Great shoe, and great fit from a great company - Zappos. Zappos had a great price and shipping is always beyond my expectations. Great customer service!

Great shoe! I normally wear 11EEE width and the shoe fit my foot perfectly. Perhaps a tad bit long but this didn't seem to be an issue. Something to do with the European size. First pair of cleats that I have owned. Did a 300+ mile road trip the second week of owning the shoes and they performed great. Dried quickly after a couple of summer thunderstorms. No cramping or forefoot problems.

Pricey, but you get what you pay for I guess. Time will tell. Toe box is pretty big. I'm used to a pair of 15 year old Shimanos that fit more like a ballet slipper. Even with the strap ratcheted one notch past comfort level I get a bit of heel lift while pedaling.

I have rarely encountered such wonderful customer service as I did when I wanted to exchange a pair of biking shoes, Sidi, for a more correct pair of Dominator Sidi shoes. When I called and explained my dilemma, the rep was very receptive and promised delivery the next day, and put me on the VIP list for future orders. They arrived the next day, as promised, and they are now on my feet when I ride.

Great shoe. A touch narrow, but be aware that this shoe will stretch. Solid pedaling platform, easy to adjust without unclipping. May want to get a footbed if you're planning on doing brevets, ultra marathons, etc.

I bought these a couple weeks ago because of so many recommendations from friends and family. They were right. These are great cycling shoes and definitely worth the price. My husband has a pair that has lasted for years. Very comfortable cycling shoe; very adjustable. Highly recommend. I did order about a 1/2 size up.

Finally no more hot spots. A wider toe box but snug in the heel just what I always wanted! I love the heel plate that allows you to pedal unclipped without slipping for a short time after stopping for a light, etc. Will definitely buy these again.
