Sidi's top of the line goes beyond $200.-. I bought mine for $20.- on sale(ok, I'm a cheap guy) at Nashbar. If you take time to look around, online stores often have dirt cheap deals that you don't mind throw away after your feet out grow the shoes. Italian shoes in general and not only Sidi, I have Diadora also, fit my feet nicely. I bought all of them online and not have to worry about the fit.
