Im looking to get a new pair of shoes. either the Sidi Dominator 4 or the Shimano M180. I have the sidi genuis 4 road shoes so i really like the way they fit and feel, but i dont REALLy want to spend 200 bucks again (i will if i must :))...I like how the Shimano has a rachet buckle system like the Sidi but how does it hold up? and is it replaceable? I like the shimano because its cheaper, but i know the Sidi is a durable machine...What would yall recommend? thanks

Nothing I have tried fits and feels as good as the SIDI's. I just bought a new pair of Dominator 4's off E bay. (to replace my older pair of dominators)

If you look and are patient you can get a new pair for about half price from there.

Good choice on the Sidis. I haven't tried a better fitting shoe than my Sidi ActionSRS... unless you count my Sidi Energy road shoes although they fit the same. :)

I have a brand new pair of Vittoria Rock mtb shoes I'd sell, but they may be too little for you. Size 10. I sell shoes on eBAY sometimes. I buy them in Europe & sell them here. Even after the importation and s/h costs, I can still make about $60/pair. Believe it on not... Vittoria's are also handmade in Italy, and are very comfortable. eBAY rulz!!!
PS. I personally like Specialized shoes. I've owned several pair over the years, and they always please me.
