There are cycling shoes out there, but there is nothing that connects you to your ride like a great pair of shoes. There are many quality components that you can compromise and not really feel the difference, but shoes are not one of those components. This is my second pair of Sidis, I made a mistake in thinking that I could find a comparable product to the any of the Sidi's only to find out that I was wrong.

This affordable Sidi is not the best of what Sidi offers, but it is the best that any serious cyclist should not do without. The ratcheted top strap is essential and easy to adjust on the fly allowing you to loosen the strap in increments. Fantastic fit and feel for the road unlike anything I have tried before. Lorica upper supports and protects the foot well and is the best alternative to leather, helping to save the environment from the chemicals necessary for tanning leather. Damn good looking shoe with all the necessary features that make the feet feel good well into the 60 mile mark.

I have been in these things for about a little over a month and I still can't believe how good they are compared to my (now) commuter kicks. For me there is now only one cycling shoe company on this planet and it is Sidi.
