SidiMen's Dominator 10 MTB Shoe(Return to Product Page)

I get a pair of Dominators every 2�3 years, this is probably my 6th or 7th pair in the last 2 decades. My last (and best!) pair was a Dominator 7. So there have been some changes.

I was actually excited for the new boa buckles! I�m not a huge fan of either velcro or tension buckles as on previous models. Unfortunately they are not as good as boa systems by other manufacturers that I have used.

The boa dials are fiddly with bare hands, difficult-to-impossible to work with gloves, and forget about adjusting them while you ride. You have to flip up a little handle, which is tough to orient & activate by feel. On the plus side you can literally dial in the fit, and they are easy to release. I also worry about durability � if the little handle breaks off you won't be able to tighten them ever again.

About the fit�Sidis used to be a good shoe for duck feet like mine but they have changed their fit. These are narrower and longer than previous versions at the same size. There is a good half inch of empty space in the toe and they are tight across the ball of my foot. I get a terrible hot spot after about two hours. Other reviewers noted the wide fit but that is definitely not my experience, and suggests that maybe Sidi has some quality control issues. Very disappointing..

I think Sidi is repurposing the last version as the �Trace,��which hopefully retains the old fit. I could live with the boa buckles if the fit were the same as preview models

Sidi Rules super comfortable, easy to walk in on or off road! Dual boa system is easy to use and lets you dial in your comfort! Also compatible with spin class bikes , when the weather gets too nasty to enjoy a ride outside

This is my 3rd pair of Sidis!!

I have been riding Sidi's for many years and still believe they are the best cycling shoe available, at least for my feet. Great fit and they last forever. This time I ordered the same size (46) as my other three pairs but this particular shoe seems to run a bit larger that my road shoes so I will probably have to get a smaller pair.

Great for spin class.

Excellent revision of the best XC shoe. Fit is spot on, plenty of airflow and easily adjusted. Just a wish for future versions would be to place the Boa dial in the center instead of the side. This maybe the failure point for me living in the rocky northeast. I have had to replace buckles on past Dominators.

My 8th pair of Sidi shoes - 5th pair for MTB. The best pair for the $, IMHO. The Tecno 3 Boa system is the best, easy to adjust the fit, easy to exit the shoe. I use these for gravel & MTB riding. Once you go Sidi , it's a step down to settle for anything but Sidi.

One of the most comfortable bike shoes I ever worn, if not the most..

Fantastic shoe, super stiff and light weight.
