I will also say that my Sidi dominators have lasted me a couple years with very little wear. That's coming from replacing my Adidas' or Pumas or what have you every few months when they wear out. I wear these shoes 28 days out of 30, all day, everywhere I go. Since I ride to everywhere I go, it's not like I do that much walking in them. Maybe on an average day I'll walk 500 yards or so. I did replace the rubber tread thingys on the bottom after about a year and a half. These things last forever and are well worth the $. And since I wear them so much, they are much more comfortable to me than regular shoes now. Imagine that.
