Sidi Velcro~~Sidi buckle**********
Advantages over Sidi velcro are what? I need some new shoes: the pattern on my present Sidi shoes don't fit the bolt pattern for my new pedals. I could get the same exact pair (at a cheaper price) with the proper bolt pattern, but have heared mixed reviews on the velcro straps vs. the buckle strap on the new.
Thanks

Ride it like you stole it
Buckles are rebuildable/replaceable, when the velcro wears out it's time for new shoes.

I love the buckle on my Sidis. So easy to make fine adjustments while riding.

love the sidi buckle system, but just to let you know the Velcro is
replacable too (although a shoe repair would have to be done, sewing and all).

Go buckle!!! doesn't slip, and is easier to make a precise adjustment while pedaling

the buckle is friggin' brilliant
my last shoes (specialized carbon comps) had three velcro, I prefer the buckle
you can tighten and loosen the buckle while riding--you have to play with one to understand it but it's very cool
I just got a pair of Genius 5.5 HT shoes
