Strengths: Super stiff, able to really get them dialed in with fit.Weaknesses: Heel adjustment requires a screwdriver, and a small one at that. The screws seem easy to strip tooBottom Line: Typical Sidi fit. Narrow and tight. The sole on this is crazy stiff. The heel cup adjustment works great. Works as it makes that part nice and tight. The 4 different closing mechanisms work together to make the shoe part of your foot. I have narrow feet though.

Strengths: STIFF!!! Good looking, nearly every part of the shoe is replaceable (meaning that if you break a strap or buckle you can buy a new one for $15, instead of buying a new pair of shoes), well-made, relatively light.Weaknesses: I just couldn't make these work for my feet. I tried 3 different footbeds, shims and spacers for my pedals, every cleat adjustment imaginable. I couldn't get rid of the "hot foot" that I was looking to eliminate by buying these shoes to begin with!Bottom Line: I bought the Palo Betini special edition of these from Pro Bike Kit about 2 years ago and have been using them up until yesterday. They are absolutely the stiffest shoe I had ever tried until now and they look totally sweet! I like that there are two types of buckles, but as far as performance is concerned, I think that two of the same would do just fine. I like the bottom buckle better, because it is simpler and isn't as prone to breaking, like the top ratchet-style buckle. I ended up ditching these shoes this last weekend for a brand new pair of 2010 Specialized S-Works shoes, that are positively the best shoes (for my feet) ever! I just couldn't get comfortable in my ergo 2's, maybe it's just my feet though...

Strengths: AboveWeaknesses: The Ergo 2's have no weaknesses. We will see how long the dial adjuster lasts, but it's still replaceable.Bottom Line: Somebody please remind me why any other manufacturer attempts to compete with Sidi in the high end cycling shoe market. After trying the top shoes from Northwave, Shimano, and Lake, Sidi's top offering nailed it at all levels. Other companies can compete with Sidi in the lower price ranges, but not with the Ergo 2 or Genius levels.
The Ergo 2 fits like a dream right out of the box, they have excellent adjustability, and they are very well made. The carbon sole is blissful and finally allows me proper cleat placement. The heal adjustment works. The Lorica is sinful. White is a little risky, but they were on sale. Best of all, they are great to walk in! The little polyurethane tab is soft and cushy. If it wears out after a year, at least you can replace it with Sidi!
After suffering with knee pain for several years, the Sidis somehow have taken care of it. I think having proper foot wear improves overall alignment of the leg and reduces knee stress. Who cares? My knees and feet are happy now.
Cost? Why do people complain about Sidi costing so much? What else are you going to spend your money on?! At the top end, Sidi is a little but not much more than other brands like Lake, Mavic, or DMT. Sidis are well worth the money, and even more so if you get them on sale!
