Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Sidi Genius 10 vs Ergo 5

I know my size for Sidi shoes and am stuck having to get via delivery as no local dealer has the inventory.

I currently ride Genius 5 and they are fine, but that model is discontinued.

The Genius 10 seems like a good mid-line shoe but I have also come across the Ergo 5 which on paper looks nicer and stiffer, but obviously tough to discern online.

Anyone have real life experiences and/or recommendations?

Sigh. Another really nice Sidi offering that doesn't go past EU48 sizing.

I don't know if the model you are looking at has the Sidi proprietary fake Boa system but mine do and they suck. I won't be buying Sidi again.
