You are so correct. As a matter of fact, I am going from some Nike's in 42 to some Sidi's in 43. The Nike's hurt my feet and were too narrow (and I do not have a wide foot). Even though it seemed that the toe box of the Nike fit correctly. The Sidi's seem to fit better and are more comfortable.
At $138 for some brand new Genius 5's (probably 07's) could not turn them down. Going to give the Nike's (only about 150 miles on them) to a assistant mechanic at a LBS. He was thrilled. He is a great kid and always helpful.
