Replaced and OLD pair of Northwave Fahrenheit shoes with the Sidi's. What an upgrade! They are easier to get on and off, stiffer and just as warm. A little pricey, but they are Sidi's...you get what you pay for.

I've never had riding boots before, probably because I live in Alabama. I decided to buy a pair and I've really enjoyed them this year. I ride them in sub 50 degree temps. Lightweight and comfortable, warm not hot, great shoe - rain or shine!

Purchased these shoes for my wife and happy to report that she is thrilled with them. They are good by themselves in temperatures to the mid 30's and she has used them in temperatures in the 20's with booties over them. She wears a 42 in her shimano road shoes and the 42 Sidi Zero fit perfectly. These shoes have definitely made winter cycling more enjoyable.

Works well for my winter temps in NC. Would not recommend for sub 30 degree rides without thick winter socks. Price is reasonable since it is Sidi. Only issue is ankle height a bit loose and would suggest thick socks to avoid too much movement in ankle area.

Used for the first rain ride in of the season in the Pacific Northwest, and a downpour at that. The footbed of the boots was pretty wet at the end of the ride, not sloshing but still wet. The cuffs on the boots do not provide a tight seal against all water leaking down. I expect to have to dry them out after a wet ride but still better and easier than an overboot. Now, what really kept my feet dry was the showers pass water proof socks I wore with this. If nothing else, get a pair of those if you ride in the rain.

Shoes are warm, which is a good thing. They are winter shoes. I have been out in 25degree temps with normal socks. I typically have issues with the cold so these get 5 starts for that. I found the high top to rub against my ankle the wrong way and I am still breaking them in. This is my issue. Shape of my foot ankle whatever. I do no think this is a flaw in the shoe design.

Have been commuting and doing longer winter rides with hour commute in low 20 degrees and toes did well. Longer or colder rides will need added covers. Fit is excellent.
Solid sole and cleat fit. Closure works well if you have nimble fingers and gloves off.

Ive used these on a dozen cold rides so far, including a three hour ride in the low 40s (38 to 45 (degrees F). Theyve performed well, keeping my feet off my mind. Cold feet are always going to be an issue in the winter months, but this option has been a big improvement over booties! I got caught out in the rain on one occasion and my feet remained dry and reasonably comfortable. The Wind Stopper is very effective! I no longer fear the freeze.
They fit somewhat loose, allowing for thick socks. Not an issue for me. I wear 45.5 Sidi road shoes size 46 has worked out well in these winter shoes.

I ordered same size as my other Sidi road bike shoe and the fit is not the same. Winter Road Shoe feels a bit smaller in size. I am thinking now that I might have needed to order bigger size.

For over 15 years and they worked well. I bought these expecting the same. Boy was i wrong. quality increased considerably. I were these with just one thin neoprene cover for 20-30deg 2 hour rides with no cold feeling at all. With old sidi i had to wear a thick neoprene bot cover with a thin neoprene cover over that. Yes that's what i used 2 do. It sucked. Now,since proven i mt use 2 boot covers until it hits zero degrees. So yes technology has improved considerably. NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS. THEY DO NOT MAKE "MEGA" SIZES why i dont know. They say they make the boots a little wider for thick socks but that doesn't compensate for wide feet. No never. So after 30 miles on the rode i cant wait 2 get these boots off. They literally pinch my feet together. both sides of both feet ache extremely aftet every ride,simply because they will not make "Mega" sizes. I have to use extensions on my Keo clip peddles to compensate for two layers of neoprene boot covers anyway so i don't understand why they won't make extra wide boots ,(for fear they will rub the crank arms).
Either way u look at these boots they just aren't wide enough. And they haven't changed that concept for over 20 years. WAKE UP SIDI ! We love u but listen to our customers and make these boots in the same "MEGA" sizes as your summer shoes. (just for the sake of saying so,i have 2 pair of mega shoes and they r perfect).

Nice shoes for warm and dry feet. Love the BOA fasteners.
