I have tried three other top name brands, each well researched before I bought them, yet they never quite lived up to the hype. I avoided Sidi mainly because of the price (yet I have worn their motorcycle race boots for years) but I finally gave up. WBW had these on sale and I was so tired of sore feet I ordered them. They arrived ahead of schedule and as soon as they were here I put on the cleats and took them out on a spin. I was so impressed I ended up riding over 23 miles on a hot and windy day here in Florida. No hot spots, no achy arches, no pinched toes, nothing but comfort! I regret having waited so long and wish I had the money back on all the others that failed me. I hope and expect them to last like others have claimed and if they break in like they said I may never take them off. Thank you Sidi and WBW for getting them onto my feet.

This shoe is replacing a pair of the same shoe that I had for years. Very reliable shoe that is very comfortable and fits like a glove. This shoe withstands all conditions and many parts on the shoe is easily replaceable if needed.

This pair was bought primarily for the spin classes I do when the weather isn't cooperating. They are perfect for the one hour classes (adjustments are easy to make without unclipping).
Review by Cougar
Another awesome SIDI shoe. I hail from roadtriathlon riding so was missing the adjustable heel cup from other models. Once I sorted out the best fit for my slightly narrow feet it was game on! Others like me might want to 1-ensure toe box comfort (length) 2-make strap ratchet adjustments (width) and 3-maybe explore insoles (footbed) to find that sweet ratchet click' that makes it feel all like a glove.

Im pretty hard on shoes, but these are both tough and comfortable. They cost a bit more, but you get good value with Sidi. Fit is usually a guessing game, but Im a size 10M, and the 43.5 fit me perfectly. Great shoes, and quick delivery from WBW!

I've been long time Sidi shoe fan. This is the first non road shoe I've purchased from Sidi. Same quality and fit I've come to expect from Sidi road shoes. Fit comfort was perfect on first ride. Little to no break-in. Foot is snug and excellent sole stiffness.
Review by Big Chico
My third pair of sidi shoes, but the main reason I continue buying them is they're one of the only manufactures that make a size 15. The ratching system is great in cinching them up but sucks in loosining.

I wanted to believe the glowing reviews were exaggerated because who wouldn't want to justify a big expenditure? But I had enough of suffering with other name brands that just didn't live up to their hype. Right out of the box these felt fantastic and on the first ride I ended up riding twice as far as I intended because of how great my feet felt! More importantly, the lack of foot pain from my other shoes. It was liberating. WBW had them on sale and they were still on the high end of the price spectrum but I went for it and now regret I hadn't done it much sooner even at full price. Think of the money I would've saved on all the shoes that failed! So if you're on-the-fence let me assure you I was not compensated for my review and I actually did purchase them from WBW with my own hard-earned money. This is a product and a company I fully endorse without hesitation.

I needed something wider than my previous Bontrager MTB shoe, and this definitely is. I really like the shoe, but had to get a Brooks insole for them, as the very racey insoles that came with the shoes were very light but paper thin.

I have worn Sidi road bike shoes for years and have been very happy with their fit and performance. I've been wearing mountain bike shoes from another well-known firm but have never been that happy with the fit or performance. I finally had my other shoes worn down to the point where I could justify replacing. I was pleased to find that Sidi now makes a Mtn bike shoe and that WBW had them on sale. I ordered the same size as my road bike shoes (45) but found that they were a size too large. A big shout out to WBW - they handled the exchange quickly, kept the sale price, and paid shipping for the replacement pair.
I'm very happy with the fit of these shoes, I like the ratchet top buckle as it provides a good fit that can be adjusted on the fly. I'm happy with the performance when I need to walk up trails, no problems so far, although I haven't testing them on wet rock surfaces, being not much rock where I ride. Altogther, very happy with my new shoes and WBW.

So good I had to buy them again. My first pair lasted 14 years. So, when they finally looked to worse for wear I had to buy them again. Just as happy with the new ones as the first pair. Buckle and Velcro have always worked flawlessly. And they are really easy to adjust while riding.
My first pair fit so well I often wore them with out socks and never had a blister. Probably a bit of a triathlon carryover in to my mountain biking, because it did cause for a painful surprise whenever a small pebble found it way in there. But the stream crossings didn't leave me with a wet foot for as long either, so both have there advantages.
You won't be disappointed.

Quite simply this Sidi shoe is the most comfortable shoe I own and it's a mountain bike shoe. Every other shoe I've worn in the same price range is complete trash in comparison. I will never own another mountain bike shoe and I'll be switching to their road shoes next. Thanks Sidi for actually knowing how to make shoes.

I've been wearing Sidi on my bikes, road and MTB, for years. I wear a sz 50 medium-narrow. If you have long feet like me, then you know you have few options. While more expensive than many other shoes out there, you get quality in the Dominator MTB shoe. I have had some of my Sidi Genius and Dominator shoes for well over 8 years - they may show their age but are perfectly functional. The ratcheting strap works well for precise fit, and the velcro straps do the job too.
Overall recommended highly!
Review by Derf
I love Sidi Dominators. I'm on my third pair of these shoes. I wear them every day, and they last for 3-4 years. And the fit is absolutely perfect for me. They seem expensive up front, but once you have them, you'll never buy another shoe.

This is my second pair of Sidi Dominators' The first pair lasted 10 years of riding 2-3 times per week. The old pair was a size 44 and were feeling tight so I ordered 44.5 which ended up way to big. I did exchange them for 44 which fit perfectly and feel larger than the old 44's. The new Dominators also have more mesh which keep the feet cooler in hot temps.
Review by Raider Nation
I wear a size 16 shoe. I had been wearing 50's from Lake and others. The fit was ok with one thin pair of socks. When I saw these Sidi's in 51 and 52s' I decided to give them a try. The 51's were a better fit but the 52's were perfect. Now I can wear multiple socks and chem packs comfortably. Ok, now onto the shoe itself. These shoes are comfortable and light with great construction quality. The soles are very stiff. Your feet feel as one with the pedal. The padded tongue is very comfortable. The heel cup is solid. The velcro straps provide a secure fit. The ratchet mechanism works great.
I use spd cleats but the shoe will accept other formats. All in all this is a tremendous MTB shoe.

The Sidi Denominators are the most durable cycling shoes that I've ever owned.

Just like their road shoes, these MTB Sidi's are great for narrow feet and hard to bit the price for he quality.
