from Grand Junction, CO, USA Date Reviewed: September 14, 2011 Strengths: Custom order for my size 14, narrow feet. They fit perfectly. These are my third pair of Sidi shoes. Fit and finish are splendid as usual. Weaknesses: No mud "studs" or cleats were included in the box this time. Hmmm. The very front two treads are much thinner than in the past and after a few rides I was already wearing into the front of the shoe and the toe leather as well! I do not believe these will have the longevity of my past Sidi shoes due to this fact. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $230.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Used / ridden Sidi Dominators for the past 20+ years. Bike Setup: I use have used Shimano SPD pedals since they were invented. Several styles and types over the years.

from NJ Date Reviewed: July 21, 2011 Strengths: Very comfortable Weaknesses: This is my second pair. First pair was replaced under warrenty bc of the sole seperating. This pair made it about a season before the sole started coming apart. I used epoxy and bonded them back together which worked great. Side buckle also broke. Replaced them with the metal version used on the D6. Bottom also grips poorly Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $130.00

from Vancouver, BC, Canada Date Reviewed: August 31, 2010 Strengths: The fit and quality seemed amazing. Weaknesses: The sole appears like it will have zero grip on hard surfaces like wet rock and wood. I returned mine before using after seeing and feeling the sole along with reading other reviews. I just could not justify paying this much money when this is such an oversight. If you live in a wet climate and/or ride steep rocky rooty rides that you can't always clean 100% of the time, these shoes will hurt you eventually.

from Chapel Hill Date Reviewed: July 30, 2010 Strengths: The fit. The fact that Sidi sells them in wide (AKA Mega). Weaknesses: Durability. Not sure this last pair lasted more than 2 years. For over $200 I expect more. This morning the sole on one shoe completely separated from the shoe. Also, the part of the shoe at your achilles tendon is torn & frayed on both shoes. Lame.

from Fort Collins, CO Date Reviewed: January 19, 2010 Strengths: Great fit, at first; very stiff; you can look cool and tell people that you own Sidis Weaknesses: My roommate warned me about these, but I was tantalized by the status symbol. Just as he said, these shoes: -stretch out. If you get your feet wet, these shoes will stretch. Lorica sucks for that - also it's cold. -The sole is terrible. This is a MOUNTAIN BIKE SHOE! Why would they put a rock-hard plastic sole on it? It's SO slippery. In wet conditions, these shoes will kill you. -My ratchets both had problems. Then, finally, mercifully, my ratcheting strap broke the other day. For now, I'm on toeclips. New shoes are in the male.
