    I currently use a pair of Sidis which were my first shoe when I went clipped in from flat pedals. Although they look good, I don’t think they’re that comfortable – at all. I’m going to keep them as a second pair.

    I’m looking for a pair which are REALLY comfortable. I’m thinking Shimano? Any recommendations?

    Thanks in advance for all advice and criticism.

    Just bought Giro Factors and they get my vote 🙂

    Had achilles issues from the specialized ones and so needed something softer at that point, the only two that I found really comfortable were the Giro Factors and the Fizik R3.

    Managed to get the Giro’s for a steal at £125, so wasn’t alot to think about 🙂

    I like the sound of the Giros but I don’t think they do my size. I have size 13 feet.

    Yup, you really can’t gain
    Yup, you really can’t gain anything from other people’s experiences with shoes, as with saddles. Just get out and try a load.
    Sidis are by far the most comfortable I’ve ever tried, but they don’t work for you…says it all.

    It’s worth going to a shop
    It’s worth going to a shop though and trying them on. Feet vary a lot, as do shoes.

    I really like my Giro Factors. Like wearing a slipper. A really stiff slipper made from carbon fibre.
