Hi guys,

I normally wear a size 9 shoe. I tried on a friends SIDI vertigo's which were size 9.5 and they were *just* about too small - my big toe was squashed on one foot.

I want a pair, but the next size up is a EU45 / UK 10.5, which seems huge. Are there any SIDI boot wearers here who can talk to me about the size difference between their SIDIs and their 'normal' shoes?

I planned to order over the net as there are no bike shops nearby, but am abit concerned now!

I have a pair of Sidi Vortice Vernice boots

Normal shoe size 11.5 or 12

Sidi size 12

Take a bit of wearing in but are a perfect fit now and extremely comfortable IMO

I wear a size 10/ EU44 in Sidi. There is a pair under my desk currently Smile
So, they definitely make 10's, maybe do a bit more searching on the net.

For the record, I am a size 10 in regular shoes too.

I think there was some confusion over their EU->UK size conversion, as his EU44 were listed as UK9.5 on the label. These were about 3 years old, so maybe they have changed them over time or across some models.

I bought a pair of Trial Zeros about a month ago, tried on several pairs of Sidis, road and MX style, all were way too small at my normal shoe size.

Ended up with Euro 46/UK 11, I normally take 9.5-10.

I've worn Sidis for years (I've actually never had anything else) and always had the same issue, at least +1 on my normal size.

I'm normally a size 8 shoe, but just checked and the Black Rains I'm wearing right now are apparently size 9.

Not sure what size my Vertigo's at home are, but I remember them being very tight when I first tried them on.

A couple of months ago i got a new pair of boots in J&S.
I went straight to the clearence section, tried a pair of Sidi's size 41 on, dont' know the model but couldn't get my feet in them. A pair of J&S branded boots size 7 (41) fitted perfectly.

So either I tried a ladies pair on Rolling Eyes or they do come small

Shoe size: 9

My Sidi Vertigos are marked UK 9/EUR 43/US 9.5/JAP 27 and fit me perfectly with a regular sock and are 'snug' (but still comfortable) with a winter sock.
