While there are some advantages to synthetics, the huge disadvantage is that synthetic materials don't stretch and conform to the oddities of your foot shape like real leather shoes do. Therefore, if your synthetic shoes don't quite fit right on day 1, they won't like fit well on day 1,001 either. It'd be great if a new pair of SIDI's fit just like your older pair, but I'm willing to bet they don't... regrettably.
