Well I used to wear Sidi's pretty much exclusively since I have a 
very very wide  and large foot (try 3E or 4E width, 11.5 to 12.5 in 
dress shoes). I have had good luck with their sizing and durability, 
but not with replacement parts.
It sucks to have another wise perfectly good pair of riding boots 
sidelined because you have worn the toe sliders through, or cracked 
the heel armour and the parts are on back order for another month or
two.

So I tried the new alpinestar smx-5's and I love them.
They seem to be as comfortable as the Sidi's and parts are available 
through Tucker rocky so they should be pretty easy to source.

How small is your foot.
