I was considering some new Sidis too ( Love the fit of my Dominator Mega MTB shoes - the same as your shoes except they have a lugged sole ) but they're horribly overpriced. I can get them for 200 which is cool, but at retail ( 350 ), you think Sidi would put a carbon sole on them by now. Heck, the 2nd top-of-the-line Nikes RETAIL for 200 and have a carbon sole. Pretty neat looking shoe I might add, despite Nike being the Anti-Christ.
