Sidi Genius 10 Review... buy in 2024?

Here is an honest review from an experienced cyclist, for your viewing pleasure.
Are the Sidi Genius 10's worth $179 in 2024? I say yes, so does my 7-month-old child who has zero cycling experience.
---
An oldie but a goodie… The Sidi Genius 10 came out in late 2020 as the company's mid-level road shoe. It features a carbon composite sole, the Sidi Techno 3 wire system, and almost nothing else worth mentioning.
I love that Sidi has still opted to make their own in-house ratchet system, and I must say - it’s brilliant. I’ve ridden both the old-style Sidi rachets and BOA systems and can say in my humble opinion, the Sidi Techno 3 system is a clear winner.

How's the width in the toe box for those kicks? I have 3 pair of Sidi. They're well made and last forever, but they're a bit on the narrow side. Curious how you found those Genius 10's?

Great question and I regret not touching on this in the review.
These are definitely more spacious than my previous sets. I have always ridden EU48 Sidis and when I slipped these on I was shocked at the room I still had around the toes.
I wouldn’t say they are a wide shoe, but definitely wider than the other flagship Sidis.
Thanks for watching!

@@astonridesthats great to know. I love my Sidi Wire, but a little more room would be nice. It's too bad the Wire and Shot are so narrow.

Is this for gravel bike use only? Not for road bike?

[@astonrides]

These are primarily road shoes that I use for both gravel and road

Thanks for a nice review Sir. Ironically enough, i have a pair of iridescent blue ones from the Bike Closet on the way right now. LOL!

[@astonrides]

Awesome! Bike Closet rocks. This was my first product review. Glad someone is watching it 😂

It's coincidental, not ironic.
