I just purchased a pair of SIDI Genius 5 Megas for about $225. Big promises but non delivered.

The shoes are supposed to be wide but in fact the toe box is as narrow as any regular shoe. My foot has just adequate space but the shoes seriously taper at the toes area and cramp your toes. Not good at all.

Additionally, the insidious and terribly designed SIDI ratchet clamp should be outlawed. Not only is it a total ***** to fumble and fight with, but the ratchet device is on the outside of each foot making it extra difficult to reach and see what you are doing. Simple velcro should have been used as it is very effective and a breeze to use. I am very disappointed in these premium shoes.

I rate SIDI shoes at the bottom of the heap by virtue of simple POOR design. The leather quality appears very good but the technical design is awful. I am returning this pair as unuseable.
