Just looking for a little help here -

I know I wear about a size 46 Shimano road shoe and I am curious if this means that I wear about a size 46 Sidi road shoe. I found a reasonable deal on some Sidi shoes online, but just don't want order the wrong size. Any info from riders that have used both would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Go to a shop and try them on first. Every shoe manufacturer is different. I had a 43 shimano, they got a little tight after a while so I went to look for the sidi's mega (because I have a wide foot), where the 43, 44, and 45's didn't fit me comfortably. So, definately go to a shop and try them on first. Also, make sure the shoes your buying on-line are the same model (year) you try on. In most cases, if the shoes are on sale on-line, they are left overs and most likely a bike shop would have them on sale also. Good luck
