Sidi Ergo 2 vs Sidi Genius: what makes a good shoe?
I'm in the market for a pair of cycling shoes and I don't know what I'm doing. What makes a good shoe? What makes a $300 shoe that much more expensive than say a $100 shoe?
And what on earth is the difference between the Sidi Ergo 2 and the Sidi Genius 6.6????
And does weight of shoes matter? A $100 Adidas adiStar Road Pro is half the weight of a Sidi Ergo 2. Sounds good. So what's wrong with the Adidas? Uncomfortable? Worse power transfer? Not durable?
Thanks!

Coming from a Shimano road shoes, I just got my new Ergo 2 shoes because of numbness that I experience on my toe finger. Hope this will help solve the pain.

2) The weight of a single shoe vs. a pair.
3) Sidi's are legendary for the quality of their construction, their fit, comfort, and the fact that if you wear a part out, you can send them back to get fixed for very little to no cost. Can't say the same about most other shoe companies.
