LOVE mine. Great combination of super stiff base and real leather upper. Super comfy, and not expensive.

I was interested in Suplest a couple months ago, but it became a bit of an odyssey trying to get a pair in the US. I envisioned shipping pairs back and forth across the Atlantic, so I scrapped the idea. Look good though.

I got a pair of the Edge Pro 3s a couple of weeks ago and I've since put a couple hundred miles on them. http://www.suplest.ch/01-035
I like them quite a bit in general. I got them in a 43 which is perfect. I wear a 44 in most Sidi's, 44.5 in the Sidi Wire, 43.5 in the S-Works shoes and a 43.5 in the Fizik R1B. 10 in Common Nike running shoes.
Couple of things i've noticed. The fancy Solestar insole they came with were unimpressive so i've put my specialized Body Geo insole in and that works great. They come up kind of high on the top front corners and dug into the front of my ankle at first but seems to have gone away and isn't much of an issue now. Boa dials have worked great so far. My previous shoes were the Sidi Wire and the Sidi's were noticeably stiffer than the Supplest although felt heavier. All in all they are comfortable and feel efficient. Also be prepared to answer a lot of questions about them at races and group rides. Most people are unfamiliar.

Looks like suplest figured it out how to give more support putting the dials in that position. Those shoes rock bear...

Do you find them wider than sidi?

Hmm... well... as I'm typing this I've got the Wire on one foot and the Suplest on the other. I'd say if anything the Sidi is a touch wider but not much. There is definitely more volume in the Sidi. Keep in mind I have pretty narrow feet and a high arch for what it's worth. Yeah, in my opinion the Sidi is wider.
