If you can try on a pair of Sidi's, do so. I am a Sidi fan. I don't think I'll ever buy another brand of shoe. Top quality, fit , and durability. I own a pair of Genius3's for general riding, a pair of T-1's for tri's and du's, and a pair of Dominators for MTB. Good stuff.

I've been riding Poggios for a year now and they're my second favorite shoe I've ever worn. They are ultra stiff. The sole is somewhat flat and the toebox is not as wide as it could be, but I like them better than a pair of Northwave Evolution Multisports I had a few years ago. They're also VERY lightweight, which is at least cool, if not important. My fav is still a pair of Carnacs that I've had for 6 years and are still going strong as foul weather shoes. They're heavier, flexier, and beat-the-hell-up, but man are they comfortable.
