SIDI Crossfire 3 SRS sizing/Now Sell-Trade

That’s why I can’t wear Sidi anymore - they get narrower every pair I bought and they run small in the length.

I have a brand new pair I have to sell on e bay, I could only use them one time.

What sizes guys?
Looking to buy a pair

So there are boot trees and boot stretchers that cobblers use and cowboy boot wearers use for width and length. And I also leave a pair of cedar shoe trees in my Sidi’s that are a full size up from my boot size - just shove em in after a ride.

Another up-sizing pro tip I just figured out. Get a ratcheting disc Brake Caliper Spreader Tool, the small size, get the shoe tree separated into front / toes and back/heel, put them in the boots. Put ratchet spreader between the front and back halves and g r a d u a l l y increase the tension to push the halves away from each other. Best done slowly and warm the boots in the sun as you do it. Can gain a full 1/2 size for roomier toe box easily. Got this from a rodeo cowboy who rode bucking horses and was sponsored by a boot company that rhymes with Justin. Don’t go too fast, be patient and don't attempt in cold weather or try to gain +two sizes, stitching will blow out like an oem tire tube.

Last resort is pull the stock insole and try a thinner one and thinner socks. I used to fit skiboots for us ski team and this was our go-to after baking the liners and insoles in a low temp oven before vacu-forming came along.

For future reference, the crossfire 3 TA is a much more spacious boot in the toe and ankle area. The srs fit much tighter. The atojo fits similar to the srs with a little more room in the toe but still not as wide as the TA

Thats my size and I love the fit of the Crossfire SRS3. What color are they? I might be interested.

I have Atojos and the fit is much roomier. Almost Gaerne like.

As for stretching, if you have a ski boot fitter in your area (may be tough in Iowa) he might be helpful. Ski boot fitters have a special oven that heats the molded plastic of a ski boot then they use tools to reach in and stretch out pressure point areas in the plastic.

I'm also interested in a 43 if you decide to sell them.

Have you tried taking the footbeds out?

I had the same issue with my SIDI boots. Felt like they fit tight and good testing them in the shop but after riding for a while it hurt so much. Toe area was good but as you said the middle of the foot was squeezed. I rode in denial for a while but then decided to sell them and buy tech 7 again... Its not worth it messing around

I don't think you'd have much luck because the toe box is plastic. They are great boots but don't stretch much. I fit pretty snug in a 42 tried a 41 and it wasn't even close. Mine are tight every time I put em on.

My pair were very snug also, they loosened up after 15 rides (20hrs) or so. Pressure washing them while wearing them and washing my bike seemed to loosen them up some too. Sidi socks are bomb and fairly thin, some others are thinner.
