    Folks I entered the pro bike kit Tour De France competition guessing the winning overall time and I won! I get the PBK summer outfit, winter outfit, glasses and wait for it..a choice of any Sidi shoes! Anyway apologies for the gloating:D. What shoes would you choose?I have Scott limited edition carbon at present but really want Sidis. Have a very old pair of Sidis and they are great. How are Sidi's sized?The size are gone from my old pair so don't know if I should get 1 size bigger?I'm like a little boy here with excitment! Thanks and sorry if I've made your Monday blues worse!!:D

    Shoes should be snug. There is a SIDI size chart on the cyclesuperstore website with conversion between different brands.

    Just be careful on width

    I ordered my shoe size recently from Chain Reactions and had to return them, whilst the fitted in length, the width of the shoe was too narrow for my foot

    Hey there TinyExplosions they a fine shoe but only in size 40. I can only get what they have available. That's my problem dub50, wide foot so we'll see. I just got Speedplay zeros delivered today, do you know if i need an adapter with them for the Sidi's?I'll wait for the new shoes before setting them up.

    Those are some flashy shoes !! fair play to you well done

    Nice one well done. €850 worth is not to be sniffed at. What was your winning time prediction and are you the sole/1st placed winner?

    If all that geat is PBK branded you'll be like a moving advertisement, they'll get more than their money back!
