"Excellent shoe for the cyclist. A bit pricey for the beginner, but if you want a solid, reliable shoe that you will be able to use for a very long time, the Sidi Ergo II is the shoe you want to slide your feet into!"Michael_Mauldwin

Ease of installation

WOW!WOW!WOW! Needed another spot to write! These shoes are nonexistant on your feet and the power transfer is unbelievable!!Definitely would spend the money again, and will, on another set. They are higher dollar shoes but MAN! Comfortable, weight, txfr, outstanding!!! Rode for 3.5 hours and never even knew they were there!!!

Ease of use

Fits the foot with ease, as long as you order the correct size!

Quality of Construction

Excellent construction. No bare threads, contact points are sufficiently padded compared to other high dollar shoes. Light weight construction using durable materials.

Fit

These shoes fit like a pair of wick socks! Very light weight and extremely comfortable. I have wide feet and these have plenty of room in the toe box so that my toes are not cramped for space, nor are they mashed together, like other shoes.On longer rides I have no hot spots and no shift.

Comfort

In a word, ABSOLUTELY. I thought the carbon sole would be somewhat uncomfortable but I was wrong! I have not had a need to put inserts into these shoes, which I wear with all of my other shoes, PT and dress as well. The ratchet strap and boa system work wonderfully and do not produce any pressure concerns even on rides in excess of 20 miles.

(5)

Adjustability

The ratchet and Boa systems provide a huge amount of ajustability and then some. The tensioning systems hold well and release very easily after practice for those rolling dismounts going into T2. There is also a heel cup adjustment that complements and rounds out the other tightening systems wonderfully!

Durability

Replaceable heel pad is a bonus as that is the area which most often wears out.

(5)

Value

Quality shoes. When I purchased these they were running $599.95. I found mine on sale for $369.00 and when I applied my company reimbursement program I only paid $169.00!! I cannot complain!! The normal price tag is justifiable by the quality of the shoes. Good value for the money.

Appearance

I like the shiny side as it adds a bit of spice to the ride for on-lookers. I have the Blue Ergo IIs which compliment my bike.

Customer Service

Have had no need to contact Sidi as of yet, and hope that I don't!

Performance

Outstanding performance. The tightening systems are superb and the carbon sole transfers the power in a very noticeable manner. I was amazed at the power of these shoes over my first pair of much cheaper Shimanos. On longer rides I have no hot spots and the feet are able to breath better than most shoes.
