Fastening system adapts the upper shoe to the shape of the foot, with Sidi’s Adjustable Heel Retention Device ensuring a snug fit all round. The tight fit gives incredibly efficient power transfer, with comfort maintained by the Vent Carbon Sole. No compromise.

The reinforced heel keeps the foot in a optimal position and avoids the shoe being deformed by extreme performance or prolonged pressure.

Replaceable Heel Pad - For walkability, Sidi cycling shoes include a replaceable polyurethane heel pad.

Vent Carbon Sole - For 2013 SIDI engineers have shaved additional weight off the Vent Carbon Sole, which now features an ultra-light heelpad and a replaceable integrated toe pad/vent cover. The key benefits of the Vent Carbon Sole are not only superior power transfer, because of its lightweight and stiffness, but also warm weather comfort. The Vent Carbon Sole is designed with an integrated vent and air channels for heat dissipation and air flow.

The vent leads to two longitudinal airflow channels molded into the carbon sole that direct air to perforations under the forefoot area (SIDI’s Comfort-Fit insoles have matching perforations for unimpeded airflow). The vent can be opened or closed for 4-season comfort. The Vent Carbon Sole is handmade exclusively of carbon fiber in a weave pattern oriented at opposing angles that maximize stiffness while allowing for a small degree of controlled flex in the toe area.

This carefully designed flex biomechanically relieves stress on the plantar tendon and helps promote circulation. The Vent Carbon Sole features a standard 3-hole drilling pattern, printed 10 mm lateral and fore/aft cleat alignment scale as well as the Look Memory Eyelet for easy cleat alignment and replacement. To improve walkability, the Vent Carbon Sole is designed with replaceable polyurethane heel and toe pads. For triathlon, the vent also serves as a water drain, dramatically improving foot comfort after a wet transition.
