I'm looking too buy a pair of cycling shoes that fit (8.5 EEE). I think I've decided to go with the SIDI Genius 5 Mega. If my local bike shops had my size I'd get the shoes there. Since they don't I'm looking online. I have found the shoes for $156 from a plce called XX Cycle, located in the UK. The price is said to include shipping to the USA.
My questions are, has anyone else bought from this company? What feedback can you give? Do you have a domestic (USA) alternative?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

i bought a 3T stem from them. the price did include shipping and it was reasonably priced (shipping charges). i'm not sure how they afford to do that. anyway the purchased item showed up 7 days later. no problem.

Hi

I bought some shoes from xx cycle in February this year. No problems - to Australia. Took about 4-5 weeks - were waiting for stock - sent email informing me of this - Good communication - offered to cancel the order for me if I didnt want to wait that long.

I thought xx cycle were in France?

kind regards

I bought Sidi mega's from them about 1 month ago...They were great, had no problems except shipping takes a few days longer because its coming from France... :)

Thanks for the feedback on XX cycle. I stand corrected, XX Cycle is located in France. They have excellent pricing on the SIDI shoes. I'll save about 1/3 from standard retail.

Bought a pair of Sidi Genius 5's and a stem (a 3T I couldn't find anywhere else). Good price even with shipping. Got hit with some customs fees though. All things considered I still saved $40 on the cost of the shoes.
