Shoe recommendations

all sidi's are handmade in italy except for the "freetime" non cycling shoes
the cheaper one's don't fit as well because there is less structure to the upper
or reinforcement in the heal area.
The cheaper sidi's are not amazing value it's not really till you get into the genius 5.1/dominator and above where sidi become really good.

Looks like I was half right:
