Sidi shoes

@amey

yeah, being a relatively new Dad and more of a runner means not a lot of cycling anymore.

Pm'ing

My Dragon II's must be 6/7 years old now, the cuff around the achilles is just starting to show some wear now.

Obviously you don't do enough sweet skids

Hah, you should see the rear tyre on my Path Racer, I was shocked when I took a look at it yesterday.

2 weeks since upgrading to Look keos and genius 5s. Bike feels 10 times better to ride and I haven't crashed once. Prob the best £150 upgrade I've ever spent on a bike.

how much goons?

Anyone want some white Sidi Wires Carbon Vent in size 44 worn twice to climb the Pyrennees?

how do northwave shoes fit? narrow or wide? I use 44 mega sidis and want to get those gore tex northwave for winter ..

Anyone got these?

I tried the Northwave Extreme Tech before the Wires and had to go a size up in them, as the 43 were too tight. Not overly, but I wore them at my desk and they were already getting uncomfortable.

Bloody italians and their narrow feet

Bloody I and my wide as fuck feet.

ftfy.

I do! Much swag

Is the mesh quite thin on the top of the shoe? @xsvcx

Holy shit the Eagle Camo's are so flipping sexual. I want all of them!
On another note, anyone got any Dominators/Eagles in 42? How's the fit?

anyone know how eagle 5 mtb shoes compare in size to eagle 5 road (should be the same?) and other sidi road shoes??

Just got delivery of my Bont Vaypors. Initial try felt great bar a slight pressure point in a couple of places on the heel and near arch which seems a common complaint. Am certain the heat moulding will aleviate this. Simply putting them on brought a smile to my face and I know once heat moulded I will have found my perfect fit shoes.

Build quality not up there with Sidi or even Shimano, but treat them well and they should last. Decent amount of replaceable parts too.

Their sizing guide was pretty spot on for my feet could perhaps gone half size more but dont do half sizes in odd numbers.

Id suggest anyone that has the wider foot to seriously consider the Bonts. They definitely better shaped for people with larger big toes than the rest of the foot. Not so for the longer middle toes and narrower feet (going by the Weight Weenie Bont thread).

What was your sidi mega size and what did you get in vaypor? did you get the wide version or just the normal?

Mega size would be 43 having tried on Laners' Dominators with a decent amount of room in them.

Measured my foot as suggested by Bont and plugged the figures in their calculator and it gave me 43Standard as my size. These are definitely more snug than the 43Mega Dominators I tried on but not uncomfortable at all. I could actually still move all my toes inside the shoe.

I use Spesh blue insoles with my commute shoes, but it didnt feel like I needed to change out the insoles from the Vaypors at all even though they are not that great. Still will give this a go once I have heat moulded them although the Spesh insoles are quite high volume and the Fizik mouldable insoles seem to be the go to insole for Bonts.

Do not be put off with how tight they feel to begin with. This great picture shows just how mouldable they are.

Top has been moulded, bottom as original. My heel fits pretty snug in the non moulded shoe but as you can see from the pic, if you have very high volume feet, they can still fit.

Anyone know where I can get Dominator 5 Megas in size 52? Ideally for as cheap as possible. I've seen one online shop that's got 2012 models in for £120. Tempted to give them a shout and see if they'll do a deal, they must've been hanging around for a couple of years at least...

Anyone know if there's any differences between 2012 model and current/2015 model?

Tried Sidicafe? Not sure about being as cheap as that but they may have the size...

Which shops in London have a decent selection of Sidis (just want a simple pair of black ones)?

I'd prefer to buy from a shop rather than on-line.
