Read more After many years of hearing others rave about the quality and fit offered by the Sidi Dominators I finally found my self in the position to obtain a pair of my own. The first couple of rides were great but barely a week into using them one of the ratchet buckles snapped in half while I was putting on the shoe. Fortunately the shop where I bought the shoes ordered me a replacement free of charge. Not something I though I would have to deal with in the first month with a $300 pair of shoes.
Since then everything has been great. I have been using the Dominators heavily for almost a year now and they are broken in nicely. I have noticed some wear in the leather on the toe box where it attaches to the sole from hitting rocks but I guess that is the price you pay for fine Italian leather. One other note is compatibility with Time pedals. I have not yet had to grind away any of the plastic lugs on the sole as others have but I may in the future. From certain angles engagement can be tricky due to the small amount of clearance around the Time cleats.
Over all I am very happy with the fit and function of the shoes. I just hope they last me 10 years!
