i have the sidi dominator 5s .. i paid a lot for them and they are worth every penny.. most comfy bike shoes ive owned.. and that alot.. i got the dominators cause i hate clacking on road shoes.. i suggest mtnn shoes if you do any walking or have carpeted stairs to your downstairs like me.. speaking of which.. anyone want to buy some size 42 shimano road shoes? really nice.. i got the sidis thhough after 2 bails down the stairs.. its like strapping soap on your feet.. theyve only been on 2 rides... what a scummy sales pitch i just worked in...

get sidis.. they rule

I love my Sidis, but purchased two pairs- Duegis and Nikes for less than the cost of a pair of Sidi- all of which are non-leather (which is undesireable anyway, since the real thing stretches too much).

Harsh why?

They're comfortable and feel good.

if i have to answer that, we are obviously jamming in differant bands.. figurativly... but since you asked.. ill tell you my style opinions.. sure.. they are just opinions.. and i might be a majjor slob.. so take emm as so.. i do design for clothing co's sometimes.. so someone feels my style is worthy of something.. take that for what it is.. cause someone also got paid to design those sandles.. so that really means nothing...

1.. i dont like sandles
2. i really dont like "riverrunner-velcro-y" sandles...
3. i really really think style wise.. riverrunners on a bike can only be out done by one thing.. RIVERRUNNERS THAT CLIP IN ON A BIKE!!! AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! i mean.. to me.. this is just BRUUUUUUTAAAAAL.. take what ever styleish old racer from back in the day.. and this is about as far as you can get to what he/she was about..

sure .. they are comfy and feel good.. so do my p.j's.. but i dont wear them around town..

like i said.. this is my lone opinion.. but you asked..

Sidis are dope, last a really long time and are very comfortable. Pricey but they last, mine are still going strong after five years of heavy use. Mine are made in Italy so would guess worker conditions are pretty good.

Vittoria and Northwave also make Vegan shoes.

Worker conditions in Italy are pretty much the highest in the world. Sidi's are definately the way to go.
