Sidi Shoes
Postby cobbler » Tue Jul 27, 2010 8:12 pm
Do you have sidi shoes, what type are they, road or mtb? What size are they? How does the size compare to your everyday shoes?
I ask this because-
I have some sidi mtb shoes and want to get some road Sidi's.
I think I have size 39 Sidi's and I am a size 7 womens in most of the other shoes I buy, (or a 5b as it can be known as).
Do you think road sizing runs the same in Sidi shoes as the mtb sizing?
Thanks

The GF has these.... she claims they are her most comfortable shoe she owns ( and my god does she own some shoes!!!! )
she is a 38 in the sidi and also a 38 in a normal puma shoe if that helps....

I'm a 40 in the road shoes and went with a 40 in the mountain bike shoes as well. I haven't ridden with them yet but I think they fit well. Next time I buy some road shoes I might think about going with 39.5 to get a fit that is a bit more snug, but I feel that I wouldn't want a mtb shoe to be too snug.

Hope that helps. If you can try them on somewhere then do. Even if you can find someone with a size up/down from yours you will be able to guage what is right. Before buying I tried on my friends size 39 Sidi's and realised they were too small, so that's why I went with the 40.

The only thing I dont like about Sidi's is the thin inner sole they come with

I always change my inner soles to blue specialized footbeds and a varus wedge in each shoe, my feet couldnt be happier

The footbeds arent cheap but they are well worth it imo. If you are forking out $$$ for Sidi's, find some extra $$ for some specialized footbeds
