Yeah, similar story here.
Old Dominators just about fit but can't take any other insole and thus mostly get used for short rides and commuting. Less old Speedplay Wires will take a Red Specialized insole without crushing toes. New Albas and Jarins have loads of room and can take anything.
The above are essentially the road version of my Jarins so they'll have bags of room.
Sidi are one of the worst offenders when it comes to terrible insoles so I imagine very few people stick with the ones that come in the shoe.
Anyway GLWS @ghostface hopefully my rambling helps!

They 100% are. I have a pair of Dragon 5’s in MEGA fit, which are supposedly their “wide” fit option, and in my opinion are quite roomy and fit quite well for wider feet. I also ordered a pair of TIGER 2’s (these were just “standard” and don’t have a “mega” fit option) just out of interest, and they also fit quite well. They maybe didn’t have quite the same volume as the MEGA fit dragon 5’s, but they were definitely much more comparable than other older sidi shoes I’ve had. For reference I had a pair of older drako’s and they were extremely narrow and tight fitting. Sidi have definitely changed their sizing up a bit (in a good way).
