Tried the SIDI, found them too narrow but I have fat feet!
So do I!. Giro fit well, as do Time and Spesh. Shimano too narrow for me. However i find shimano pretty good for my wide size 9 feet?
I would say my SIDI's after about 2.5k miles are silly comfy and albeit dont look new but the carbon sole has held up well to the winter off road battering and after replacing the rubber bits on the sole the shoes look fresher for it and look like they'll last another year of on road, commuting and off road abuse..... only bit is the price i paid £170 ( i think) which was about 90 quid knocked off retail and at £260 i'm not sure if i'd of taken the plunge for such an expensive shoe but glad i got seemingly a one off bargain and they've lasted and made my mind up that i'll get something similar next time round
I know a few people who've bought SIDI and had to flog them on. I tried some (Ergo 2 Vernice bling ones, >£200) in a shop, felt great, after an hour of riding they were hell.
Most people I ride with (roadies) use Specialized S-Works now. The boa lacing is fantastic for adjusting tension under shoe covers and they're reasonably priced at the end of the year. If only the black ones weren't so damn ugly...

Oi I like my black s-works ! better than the dodgy white affairs Most people I ride with (roadies) use Specialized S-Works now. The boa lacing is fantastic for adjusting tension under shoe covers and they're reasonably priced at the end of the year. If only the black ones weren't so damn ugly...

I bet you wear black socks too. WELL, DO YOU? 
Black and white and not individually we are talking two colours on one sock but which is the stronger or more prevalent colour.....Now the real question for you white shoe wearers are do you wear the white lycra shorts......

I do own them but I don't have the balls to wear them.
(coat!)
Don't worry I had a pair and wore them on a 30 plus organised cycle which was a whole days worth of cycling, needless to say I had recieved a few complaints and in some cases the hope of rain from some of the ladies in the group.(coat!)
I also got called moby dick as I had white shoes and helmet.

If you had a white helmet, I'd seriously reconsider the fitment of your shorts!I also got called moby dick as I had white shoes and helmet.
For those with wide feet, apparently the new Bont Riot is a wide shoe, wider than their wide fit more expensive ones.
The Riot has a heat mouldable sole too, not as stiff or high CF content as the Vaypour but then they're a whole lot cheaper.
The new Vaypour + is lovely though and they finally went Boa!
