So, a few months ago, a cycling buddy said to me, "Sidis suck. You should try something else."I have been wearing Sidis for decades, but then was thinking, maybe they are a little too whipped out, maybe too big by a 1/2 size; my mind started working on me. I was using my mtb shoes on my road bike anyway, so I bought some road pedals and I started doing research on who makes the wide style shoes. I tried on:Bont (shipped from England!)Shimano S-PhyreSpecialized S-WorksNew Sidis in 43.5 and 44 to compare.The Bonts were instantly the wrong thing, like trying to jam my foot into a wooden box.I actually bought and wore the Shimanos for a while, convincing myself that they were ok. They just became too narrow, in odd places that I couldn't figure out. I needed ... MoreSo, a few months ago, a cycling buddy said to me, "Sidis suck.

They just became too narrow, in odd places that I couldn't figure out. I needed more research.I put my mountain pedals back on my road bike and dug deeper. With my Shimanos, the Specialized, and the Sidis, I tried them on over days, with different socks, in different moods; I tried to make it a longer process, and my wife was just scratching her head again and again.In the end the Specs had a better (wider) toe box than the Shimanos and I almost went with them. But what I realized is that both the Specs and the Shimanos have heel cups that extend forward on the outside of the shoe, that pushed on the outside metatarsal just as it hits the ankle. That bone sticks out a little. The Sidis cup surrounds the heel, and doesn't continue forward, so that bone doesn't get pushed. And there is more room in the toe; I definitely don't have my big toe touching anything. I have a photo there of the Spec shoe.It was an interesting study, and maybe needed, but I will stick with my Sidis because they actually really don't suck. I will keep buying!

The mega ergo 5 shoe is excellent. Great fit for me as I have a wider fit requirement.They are a little expensive but I think it’s worth paying a little extra for comfort. Sigma sport are great to deal with as I needed to change from a smaller size and the process was faultless. Many thanks.

If your feet feel good, the rest of you will also. These Sidi Ergo5 Mega shoes with the wide fit, still give a tremendous amount of support all around the foot. Easy to adjust with quick release leavers, enabling precise control for comfort. Looking smart and with decent build quality, supplied by Signa Sport, these gives you all in all, confidence in the choice you’ve made. Highly recommended.

High quality shoes. I have broad feet and normally take a 42 in most brands, however the Sidi Mega half a size smaller seems to fit very well. More width in the toe box, but still plenty of length. Usual Sidi quality that they are renowned for.
These take 3 or so rides to wear in, the first one I found the tongue a little uncomfortable. I also had to go 1/2 up from the Sidi chart, which is the same as what I would wear for running shoes.The toe box is roomy, the heel cup really supportive. These have transformed the feeling when climbing and accelerating compared to an older pair of Shimano RC5.A great, stiff pair of cycling shoes!
Sidi Megas have been the answer to managing my hammer toe. Thought I would try Shimano R-Phyre which were disappointing when it came to extra width. I'm taking advantage of good sale offered by Competitive Cyclist, It will be interesting to see how well push dials will work as opposed by the lever/strap of Genius 7's. With the hook strap on Ergos it should allow me to loosen for toe area. I will probably need to use Specialized insoles which have worked well in Gen 7's. Don't get me wrong as the Gen 7's have been impressive. But the Ergo 5's on sale were only $30 more than a new pair of Gen 7's at MSRP. The Ergo 5's at MSRP are $130 more and I could not pass up a good deal. I trust the Ergo 5's will not be a disappointment.
This is my second pair of Sidi Ergo cycling shoes. I am retiring my first pair after about 12 years of riding. I could get another 10 years out of my first pair, but I now require orthotics and needed a larger size shoe to accomodate the inserts. Rode 26 miles with my new shoes yesterday. Comfortable, light, efficient and good looking enough to wear to a wedding. Really expensive shoes, but ride in them for 10+ years and you'll appreciate the great value.
You know what you want from your cycling shoes: light weight, cushioning, support, and a comfortable fit. Of course, the most important part of any shoe is your experience over the hundreds of miles you'll take them on. Like running shoes and workout shoes, cycling shoes can bring you a lot of joy or a lot of pain. Choosing the correct fit is key for comfort. If you don't, you may end up with blisters and cramps in your arches -- ouch.I originally purchased the 43.5 and they were an inch to big. Competitive Cyclist was quick to turn around and send me 42.5. If you have flat feet like myself, you don't have to suffer from ill-fitting cycling shoes anymore. These are the ones! It was like Cinderellla putting on her glass slipper on for a perfect fit!I think this ... MoreYou know what you want from your cycling shoes: light weight, cushioning, support, and a comfortable fit.

The Mega is ergonomically designed to provide relief for those with flat feet or heel and foot pain from any cause. If you have flat feet and are looking for a comfortable pair of cycling slippers these are the one!
I have been wearing Sidis in various incarnations for many years. I now find I need a wider fit. The "mega" does the job very well. However the push button/dial adjuster does seem over designed. I wouldn't want to carry out adjustments on the move, but maybe I'll get used to it if I ever have to.
Provides extra room over the mid foot. Good shape and great quality. Really comfortable on first couple of rides. Was unsure of exact size so purchased two pairs - the Sigma returns system was smooth and very efficient for the surplus pair.
