If you're looking at these shoes, and seriously considering shelling out the bucks for them, then you probably already know what you're getting. These are the standard in cycling, against which all shoes are measured. They are super stiff, very comfortable, allow very precise adjustment of the ratchet strap (even while riding). If you have wide feet, you probably know how narrow most bike shoes are, but Sidi's Mega series provide a wide enough platform that enables you to really hammer on the pedals without hurting the edges of the balls of your feet. You will get more out of your bike by upgrading to these shoes. Go ahead...you're worth it!
Brands I'd also recommend: none. There can be only one...

These shoes are awesome. Buy them. I had Pearl Izumi shoes for a year and they would make my toes numb on long rides. Finally broke down and spent the money on these...and whoa! no more numbness, they fit my narrow foot better and they work great with my Look pedals and Keo cleats. I will not buy any other shoe than Sidi.

Perfect road shoe for this wide footed cyclist. They are very comfortable, well-made, and adjustable.

Very comfortable road shoe. No problems so far. Fit is snug but not too tight at all.

These shoes changed my life. The fit of these things are amazing. Even though they're cycling shoes they're the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. If the soles weren't so stiff and slick I'd wear them everywhere. They're true to fit and feel great. I live car-free and commute everywhere by bicycle, so I spend a lot of time in cycling shoes. The added comfort I get from these shoes coming from the cheap pair I'd been using for a past few years easily justifies the cost. I immediately felt an improvement in my technique and the chronic ankle pain I've been experiencing has improved greatly. Aside from how lovingly these things hug my feet, the build quality seems excellent and the buckle allows for easy, precise adjustment. If you're a serious cyclist then do yourself, your feet and your ankles a favor and drop the extra cash on these shoes.

Shoe runs smaller and narrower than indicated. I like that it is narrower because I need that. Had to go up a 1/2-size. Otherwise, it is a light and great fitting shoe.

These are great shoes, on my third pair. I was borderline wide, but stepped up from a 46 to a 46.5 medium and do fine. Also pays to experiment with insoles. These do tend to stretch after hundreds of miles and rainy rides; however, adjustment can be taken care of with the straps.

Great shoe. A touch narrow, but be aware that this shoe will stretch. Solid pedaling platform, easy to adjust without unclipping. May want to get a footbed if you're planning on doing brevets, ultra marathons, etc.

Great shoe! I normally wear 11EEE width and the shoe fit my foot perfectly. Perhaps a tad bit long but this didn't seem to be an issue. Something to do with the European size. First pair of cleats that I have owned. Did a 300+ mile road trip the second week of owning the shoes and they performed great. Dried quickly after a couple of summer thunderstorms. No cramping or forefoot problems.

These are great cycling shoes. I got the max size so I could wear my insert. I like the upper strap being separate, so I can get the top tighter than the toes.

I have feet that are wide in the front but normal in the heel. These shoes are great for me (in wide) because they are wide enough in the front but the heel is snug enough not to slip. These also have a very comfortable upper, unlike some cycling shoes which seem to dig into various places on the top of my foot when tight. I gave them 4 stars for comfort only because the footbed is quite hard, and doesn't fit my foot perfectly. This is not a huge deal, because the insole is removable, so I will just replace it.

I got these shoes after riding in a group of 8 guys and six of them were wearing these! After riding for over a year in cheaper all velcro shoes - these are so much better! Wow, they really lock my feet in there and allow me to precision adjust! These are great, I know they're pricey but you are getting what you pay for with these!

After trying many other brands, SIDI is the number one cycling shoe in design and performance. Genius 5 Pro Carbon, the best value. Other SIDI models are substantially more expensive and only a few grams lighter with simply a different enclosure system; but essentially the same shoe structure. Zappos always delivers!

I have a wide foot with a high instep. These Sidi Mega fit better than any other brand I have used. I normally buy 9 Wide - these 43 wide (Mega) fit well. Great cycling shoes!
