Sidi Dominators...Do they stretch out at all.

[Briko11]

Just tried on a pair of dominator's and I'm thinking about buying a pair but the problem is that I like the narrow shoes but they seem just a bit snug, I was just wondering if they stretched out at all after a couple of rides or if they seem to hold true to original form..I will only wear them during the summer so I'm not worried about to much extra room..as far as wearing thicker socks..I wear as thin as i can find now...

Sidi Dominators...Do they stretch out at all.
Not really. They are made out of a synthetic leather called Lorica. They will break in a bit, but I didn't notice any stretch. Mine fit me like a glove just as they did when they were new. I think mine are around 2 years old now.

x2.

Mine have seen a bit too much action, but have survived a surprisingly long time. They still fit the same although the pleather seems to be getting stiffer and more rigid.

Not at all. I wore them for a few years -- they're pretty strong, but no flexibility (and if they get wet they get hard, but that's kind of like most other shoes anyway, I guess.) I have a pair of the Dragons now, and I love them. They're over two years old and are still going. But they have the same problem in terms of stretch.

Don't ever go with a shoe hoping that it might stretch a little with use. (And I come from the Land of Bitter Experience on this one.)

The Sidis really won't stretch at all. Try the Mega version though, they are a tad wider.

They don't stretch, per-se, but I've found that I need to tighten the ratchet 1-2 clicks towards the end of a long ride.
