New shoe recommendations

[richwagmn]

My Sidi zetas are feeling a little tired these days so looking at some new shoes. I love the fit of the Sidis but the Zetas aren't the best ventilated.

What do you guys like for shoes these days?

I have Sidi genius but I also have shimano that I prefer they are stiff and strong and last for years.

Get a good fit and forget the heat molding.

I agree stay away from heat molding if you hate a perfect fit.

Here's what I just bought:

Grrr, I am envious of those who find Sidi a good fit . My hoofs are too wide unfortunately.

I went heat moldable Louis Garneau and they rock. First time in 20+ years of riding that my feet don't hurt after 3 hours in the saddle

Have you tried Sidis in the mega width?

I've got the Shimano R300. Very stiff, well-ventilated. Heat-molded, which worked well for me. And available in wide for my pontoon-like feet.

It might not be obvious to the untrained eye but I think I detect a pattern.

I love my classics. Awesome for road running, track running, on the water at the lake, and surprisingly climbing.

I have been in Sidi mega's for the last 10 years and for the 1st time tried a pair of northwave aerlite sbs. 1st thing I noticed is no heal slip! (unlike the Sidi's). Absolutely the best move I've ever made!

Yup, but unfortunately not wide enough. A pity, because apart from the personal fit issue, Sidis were the best shoes I ever had. My 1992 Genius2 were just awesome for their time.

I tried the Lakes but they were too wide for me and I generaly have a wide foot.
