are they worth all the money?

i would like a pair but am unsure if i can justify the price!!!

will they last a fair while? i already have a pair of sidi's and i love them, but are these worth the cash?

thanks!

    Good shoes - but no better than the existing Ergo 2's or Genius 6.6's. Just a different look.

    If you don't already have a pair of Ergo 2 or 6.6 - then they are a good shoe and will last - but won't last any longer, if you get my drift.

    If you really want them, you'll justify the price.
    If you don't, you wont!
    I have Ergo 2's, and I choked on the price of those, in a sale FFS! :shock:
    I couldn't justify the price, but I wanted the shoe.... Simple!
    They are quality and will last. :wink:

    I have the Vernice in white. And to be totally honest, only reason I bought them is I love the look. Awesome, and IMO nothing out there is as handsome a shoe.

    I would say they are a touch on the heavy side, but are very comfortable, compliment your other cycling gear well and are worth the money,

    Thing with Sidi is, the longer you leave buying em the more expensive they get...... and once you do buy them, they should last many many years.
  • Can I confirm that you need to order a size up from your normal shoe size al a Shimano?

    Thanks

    They do last many years, I'm still wearing my Energies, still brilliant. Any Sidis highly recommended.
