Sidi Ergo 5 Mega

[hainy]

Anyone got a pair and can provide some real world feedback. What did you come from? Does the new heel cup work well? I have a wide / High Volume foot and curently on the Lake 237 Wide but struggle with the closure system on the top of the foot. I have and old pair of Genius 5 mega and they fit like a glove but there is too much heel slippage especially on my left foot so not useable anymore.

Cheers

THe lake wide is still not good?... lake has extra wide just in case.

I tried the Ergo 5 as well and they didn’t work for my feet. Tried many other shoes and finally found my way to the Lake 241 wide. Best fitting shoe I have owned, comfort, wide and high toe box, two boa dials for great adjustment, plus the heel cup is heat moldable, I highly recommend. I believe they are a different last than the Lake 237, check them out on the Lake web site. Good luck!

The lakes I have are wide enough its the boa closure system that doesn't agree with the top of my foot. If I keep it loose enough so it is comfortable then I get the foot slippage up and forward.

Not sure if the placement of the boa is different on the 241, worth looking into.

Quattro....why did you find the Ergo 5 not suitable? Just not wide enough?

Toe box wasn’t high enough, I have hammer toes, and the shape of the last didn’t agree with my feet.
I really like the 241’s.

After talking to my good friend and bike fitter Steve Hogg I am ordering a pair of Lake CX241 Wide. He recently purcahsed a pair and recommends them. Thanks everyone for your help

Gee, I think those shoes were recommend by someone in an earlier post

Good luck with the 241 Wides, I think you will like them very much, I am enjoying mine.

Lake 241

I was getting heel lift on the left shoes and Aaron here in Sydney helped mold the heel and it is a lot better. Toe area is a little bit tight so I have left this dial quite loose and seems to get more comfortable with each ride. The good thing is I am able to dial down the top dial quite tight without any pinching. 4 hour ride last Saturday and can’t say I remember thinking about my feet which is always a good sign of happy feet.

Lake 237

Has better room in the toe area but heel lift is a problem and closure system pinches the top of my foot.

Glad you are enjoying your Lake 241 wides.
I never tried the Lake 237, ext time I’m in a store that carries Lake I’ll give them a try. I think my 241’s will be with me for many years .
