I've managed to find a pair of ergo 3s and genius 6.6 s for £170 and a pair of sidi fives for £120.


Now, are the ergo 3s or 6.6s worth £50 extra over the sidi fives, and if so, do I go ergo 3 or 6.6??

    Find the heel system on the 6.6 and Ergo 3's better than that on the Fives. Not actually got a pair of Fives to give a direct comparison to, but do find both the former to hold my heel slightly better than Genius 5 Pro's which share the same back end. Actually prefer the rachet type top buckle of the 6.6's to the 3's. If I had to choose one I would go 6.6's as I like how they look the most but as to whether they are worth the extra cash not sure!

    Comfort wise they all feel about the same, but none have the slipper like feel of the Wires.

    Cheers. Is tricky without trying them on!

    Exactly - Even then once you ride in them it is very different to trying them on in the shop, especially after a 6 hour ride. For what it is worth I have easily done the most amount miles in my Genius 5 Pro's as they black so worn all winter!
