Review by SummitbikerReview for Sidi Genius Fit Mega Road ShoeReviewed 4/11/2014by SummitbikerCycling EnthusiastNew Jersey2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Sidi shoes put the other makes to shame.My new Sidi's fit like they were custom made for me. Past shoes did not take my tough fit well, but these are great. Adjustable straps and true sizing really beat the competition. Love these shoes!

Review by BorreganReview for Sidi Genius Fit Mega Road ShoeReviewed 9/12/2014by BorreganCompetitive RacerSan Diego2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Still my favorite shoeI periodically try other shoes but always go back to Sidi Genius. The Mega Fit gives a little more room for swelling feet in high heat, long distance rides. Have used Sidi for over 2 decades.

Review by MikeSchrekReviewed 4/2/2020by MikeSchrekCasual CyclistSpokane1 of 2 customers found this review helpful.What a step up from my original bike shoes!Wow! I had promised myself that as a resolution to restart my biking hobby and get back to healthy, I would get a nice pair of road shoes. My original shoes were 6 years old and i really had no complaints. They were a pair of Bontragers, on the lower end of their scale. I have a wide foot, so I was skeptical buying on-line. But these Genius Mega shoes are amazing. Such a better fit and more stability out of the saddle that I didn't even know I was missing. If I could give them higher than a 5 I would. One hint that almost kept me from buying. Some comments on-line complain about the tongue rubbing the front of the ankle. Yup. That was true. Very uncomfortable. Then I noticed that the manual suggests to cut the tongue through the slots already on the edge of the tongue. 2 minutes later and all is good, although it baffles me why sidi didn't do this in production. A great shoe you wont regret.

Review by Mr. BillReviewed 4/19/2021by Mr. BillWillamette Valley Not the Sidi Brand I knowOut of the box the shoes were great. A bit bigger than expected especially when my right foot is wider than left, but the right shoe ran wide. Left shoe was good enough. After second long ride the right foot ratchet would not release which was really disappointing with Sidi, as I use Sidi with my motorcycle pursuits also. My old Shimano shoes ratchets put up with years of torture.
I get why most manufactures are going to the Boa system. I will with my next shoes. Unsure what to do with the Sidi Genius 7 Mega other than a expensive dog chew toy for the neighbor.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 3/9/2017by AnonymousCompetitive RacerPortland, OR3 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Comfortable, easy to adjust, great winter shoeGot these a size larger and in the mega version to use as a winter shoe and for ultra cycling (for when your feet swell). They are comfortable, even when too big. Looking forward to more and more miles on them. So far I love them.

Review by Colnago RacerReviewed 2/28/2019by Colnago RacerCycling EnthusiastRhinebeck, NY3 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Roomy shoesThis is my third pair ( each earlier pair from different editions) of Sidi's. After 30 years plus of pedaling I decide to go for the mega version this time because my feet are changing and need more width. I still prefer the velcro version. I find Sidi's to be very comfortable, even after hours in the pedals. Quality product that lasts.

Review by canabasaReviewed 8/6/2018by canabasaCycling EnthusiastHull, MA0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.When dealing with wider feet, try this shoeAs a road rider with wide feet, it is nice that Sidi makes a shoe that allows my foot to feel good regardless of the number of miles I might ride. I had an older pair of Sidi's that I love but did not come in the wider version, the leather stretched a bit so my foot is comfortable in them but hangs a bit over the sides of the sole. With the MEGA, the carbon platform is wider so my whole foot is on a stable platform to push down on, rather than hanging over the edge which is occurring with their standard shoe, thus giving me more efficiency and eliminates any foot fatigue. Definitely try this shoe if you have wide feet, I'm sure you'll be pleased.
