Great Shoes

I am a little chagrined to admit that I have these and the 6.6 (long story), both are terrific shoes. I really like the extra snug fit you can get with the twist type buckle - you can really micro adjust these, and do it well pretty safely on the fly. I have heard people shy away from this shoe because they are afraid it will break - no issues after about 2000 miles and no sign of wear. I always went for a cheaper, more flexible shoe before a serious biker friend of mine talked me into the High end Sidi. I thought the super stiff sole would be uncomfortable, but that is simply not the case. It feels like a custom fit shoe, and I have had no comfort issues, even on long rides. As with most high end bike shoes and ski boots, you will need to replace the wafer thin insole that comes with the shoe. They provide no support whatsoever. I actually use my Surefoot insole with these shoes. If this is in your budget, give this shoe a try, you are unlikely to be disappointed.

Jamie Preston, you said it bro! If you are buying a high end road cycling shoe, dial in the fit with a super good insole. Or go to your local high end bike shop, and have custom insoles made. I know,.....you spend big bucks on the shoe, and need a custom insole...but honestly I have had my custom insoles for over 10 years and they have been the best investment ever! I use them in my road shoes & Telemark boots in the winter. Soooooo nice! These shoes are considered to be a narrow "pro snug fit". As always, not all shoes are going to fit everyone perfectly. I hope that this additional information helps!
