Sidi makes a great line of shoes, but they may not be for you. Remember that every shoe manufacturer uses their own last for their shoe construction, and they are all a bit different. You did say you use orthotics, yes? Is the orthotic something you'll need in your cycling shoe? Will it work well with the Sidi? Folks are right about the cost being worth it... IF the shoe works for you. One final comment, I learned the hard way that a shoe that feels great while seated on the bench at the store, may not feel very good after 2+ hours in use on the bike. For me, the fit of the heel cup is a critical element, if there is any play at all, I'm in for some painful riding after about an hour. In one sense cycling shoes are just like bikes... it's only good with the proper....you guessed it - fit.
