Do people here who have tried both have a strong preference between Sidi and Lake? I have Lake now, cheap ones, and they're somewhat ratted after a few years. I'd like to get another pair but need wide, which mostly drops it to those two. I think Sidi is "better" but the best Mega shoe they have is the Ergo 5, which uses their "Techo Dials" and a forefoot velcro (which drives me nuts) while Lake has dual Boa. And the Lake is cheaper. Are the Sidis better overall, with their replacement parts and all, or is that mostly a non-factor?

Regarding the chain pin push and other stupid tricks, I was organizing some power cords today in my workroom and after removing all of the cords from a power strip and replacing them in an orderly manner, nothing worked. It's a really old power strip so I figured that it finally quit especially since the light in the switch wouldn't light up. Thing is toast.
I get another strip and start plugging them in to it and I have 5 plugs for 4 devices.
The fifth plug was for the power strip. I had plugged itself into itself.

Three of my four amigos who have trapped me in the bathroom, yet again. Randomly felt like posting this.

I ran Sidi for a long time, and had no reason to dislike them, other than the fact they weren't quite wide enough. I went middle of the road price point on them, simply because I wasn't sure if they would work. They lasted well, and I wouldn't hesitate to by them again, if they were the only wide game in town like they were back then. Lake 237's sold me on them, and I went up to the CX402's, with the mold-able heel. It appears that was replaced by the 403, and should you choose to go that route, go up 1/2 size over the Lake's you have now.
Lake are my personal choice due to a better fit to my foot.

The "Sidi not wide enough" is likely the killer; the wide Lakes are probably a little wider than I need but wow is that nicer than the opposite. On the trainer I use my old Shimano shoes, which I cut into sandals because I was sick of the blisters.

Looking at the CX238 wide, so probably the exact ones you have. "Foot-shaped" sounds like heaven to my flappy flippers.

Worse, applying for a mail-in ballot. I did the form again and it appeared to go through the second time. Keep me posted on any hot political stories you get from Kingston, as that's my listed last residence.
Supper time?
Kudos.

I have TX212s now and would be getting the CX238; am I right in thinking at that level I'd be staying the same size?

Close, breakfast. Big Daisy, the Kangal Shepherd, is almost as accurate as my watch. When 6:00 AM or PM rolls around, if I am not in the kitchen preparing dog meals, she finds me, sits in front of me and, if I don’t respond, she clubs me with a front paw.
