Sidi

Arrived quickly in good shape. No problems

These shoes offer me the power transfer I need to climb hills and ride fast to keep up with the boys. They fit comfortably out of the box and envelope my feet with no slippage. I treated the entire shoe - especially the white fabric area where the foot enters with waterproof/stainproof solution (Nikwax for leather and fabric, found here on STP) to keep this high performance shoe looking like a lady. I also like the fact that parts of the shoe can be replaced on an as needed basis. I have tried other brands and found the Sidi 5 Pro most superb. Very happy with this purchase; well worth the investment.

I already own the Sidi 5 Pro with the cleated sole which are a great shoe for touring, but have a heavier sole and are constructed from a thicker leather. These shoes have the carbon fiber millenium III sole which improve power transfer a great deal in the hills and are noticeably lighter. Ratcheting system to control fit works well and can be adjusted mid-ride. A great value at about $165., I paid $280 for my SIDI cleated touring shoes at full retail so this represents a great value. These shoes are made in Romania, BTW.
