they are lovely... though not so great if you have extra wide boat feet like me! They do stretch over time though, my Dragon 2's now fit me like a glove 8)

I've got fat feet. Ordered some wide Sidi's about four years ago. Still haven't arrived. Not holding breath...

they don't do the Dragon 2 in 'wide' (mega) sizing... more's the pity! Have had mine 3+ years now, still in excellent nick ๐Ÿ™‚

Love 'em, they take whatever you throw at them and last for years and years. I find I have to buy two sizes up but now I know that it doesn't present a problem.

They aren't the comfiest shoes - Spesh BG for me anyway but as for quality and workmanship they are streets ahead of anyone else.

Used to use Spesh BG and they were great - 5yrs out of the last pair.

Just bought a pair of mega dominators (25% off at wiggle + another 4% with topcashback) and have to say they are very nice - feel very well made and very comfy. I could have had the Spesh one with the carbon sole but all velcro straps for about the same money and i'm sure they would have been good too. Northwave & DMT also great.

the inside of my dragon 2`s are not holding up very well.They are falling apart at the heels at the same point on both shoes which is not good as i thought they would last for ages.I have only had them just over a year and i never used them over the winter as i was wearing boots for 4 months.It is a pity as i really like them apart from this problem

My latest pair of Spesh BG's also squeek & make my foot cramp/go numb, might go back to Sidi (first pair I had was in 1979!!)

obviously a lot better quality made.
the mega's seem a fair bit wider, my spesh were a bit narrow to start with.
and the lorica leather is supposed to be waterproof too, which is a good this.
unlike the teabag material on the spesh bg's.

I have a 42 which are spot on, a Spesh 42 is too long for me and Shimano 42 is OK but with a very roomy toe box.
