Room for toes to wiggle a bit?
Heel held well and doesn't move up and down?
Snug around the middle of the foot?

Is there anything else obvious (or not so obvious) that I'm missing?

Thanks

I think you should try a few on. I got a pair of expensive sidi 2 years ago online that i thought were great at the time, but realised they were actually very tight after I got a new pair of Nike shoes which I much prefer to wear and were a third of the price of the Sidis. Now I won't wear my Sidi's even though they are way Euro-er than my Nike ones.
