They were loose in the heel to begin with. Maybe a 1/2 inch when I first tried them on. But after wearing them for a few hours and riding with them, I think they got alittle worse.

Either that, or my feet were really swollen on saturday evening. Who knows.

I bought them from Street & Competition at the speedway. I've tried calling them, but I keep getting an answering machine.

I would leave a message, it's Tuesday, so likely they are swamped coming back after the weekend...

I have sidi's.... they won't stretch much, but if your heel is coming up, they're too big. Especially since you will be on the balls of your feet when riding hard for the most part, you'd rather get them tighter. I'd drop a size.

i've never had an issue with fitting in my Sidis....even ordered them from eBay with out trying them on....

beginner's luck, i guess.....

Just a follow up. I swapped out my SIDI boots for 44's and they fit perfect now. Thanks for the advice everyone.

My SIDI boots seem to run on the narrow side with the width and my Oxtar (aka TCX) boots seem to run wide with the width. Overall lengths seem to be about the same.

Good info. I have my eye on a pair of Sidi boots.

I actually have wide feet. I wear a 10 1/2 EE shoe. D is the standard size and EE is a wide size. I don't have any issues with the width of the Sidi's at all.

However I have been told by a few people next time around look into Kommodo boots. They are apperantly made in america and their sizing is more tradational/wider sizing then european boots.

My feet are actually relatively wide, and I had to go with a smaller size SIDI boot than I expected. Maybe that was to fit the length though... the width is comfortable and has broken in nicely. Or maybe they just fit a certain foot contour better
