Sadly true. You can't even depend on the sizing from a single manufacturer. Back in 2014, I got a pair of Sidi Ergo Carbons in 46, which to this day fit perfectly and never cause any issues no matter how long the ride. Based on that, during the Pandemic I bought another pair of Sidis, in 46, which are too large. Not unusably so, but enough that it's hard to get a snug fit. The soles of old ones are starting to separate at the heel, but I'm gonna see if I can fix that with some epoxy or similar, because they just work.

To add insult to injury the tyre hit the car a second time.

I see you already mentioned that.

That may be, I was going by what I saw/read when looking at the current Sidi Genius 10 shoe, which looks like a BOA but is a boa-like closure and does not quite work the same way.

I got my latest Vittoria shoes on close out. The Vittoria Cycling Shop has a pretty good selection of prior year shoes, and the discounts are good, but return shipping cost is on you.

I've had good luck buying shoes online, and the specter of possibly having to return is not a big deal.
I got my latest Vittoria shoes on close out. The Vittoria Cycling Shop has a pretty good selection of prior year shoes, and the discounts are good, but return shipping cost is on you.

My wife and I were doing a lot of traveling and touring pre-epidemic and I sold my road shoes in favor of mtb shoes to be able to walk. Now, post-pandemic, I’ve bought a couple pair of road shoes, again.
