Yah.. sounds like he's trying to save you money but also saying that Sidi's don't exactly fit you well at all.

The S-works do have a huge toe-box. Bontrager also makes Toe boxes bigger than Sidi. AFAICT Sidi's have always been known to have tight toe boxes. Being italian they are definitely more fashionable, maybe the tight toe box goes with that. Let's be realistic, cyclists definitely think they are "cool" and that's partially fashion.

Sounds like doctors disagree somewhat but most of them say you get these from a) genetics b) years of poorly fitting shoes.

Most of us don't wear our bike shoes all the time, you must have other non cycling shoes that bother this too and were more likely to be the cause?

It's rampant with women in my family. Their feet are all reshaped to look like badly fitting fashionable pointy-toed shoes. Lots of misery.
