With the most detailed and advanced fit adjustment mechanisms available on a cycling shoe, the Sidi Genius 5 Fit Carbon Road Shoes delivers consistently amazing fit, adjustable on the go for full comfort throughout any challenge.

Soft Instep 2

The wide, curved strap of the Soft Instep Closure System combines with a thermo-formed EVA pad to distribute pressure evenly over the instep area. Sidi have made the system adjustable from either side so you can center the pad perfectly. You can replace the entire system to ensure your shoe performs to the top level even after years of wear.

Millennium 4 Carbon Composite Sole

Constructed from carbon fiber injected in to a matrix of nylon, the Millennium 4 Carbon Composite Sole is more rigid than standard nylon. Durable, non water absorbent and mechanically stable, the Millennium 4 Carbon composite Sole retains stiffness over time, despite prolonged hard usage and temperature changes. 

Caliper Buckle

A micrometric closure buckle which can be adjusted by lifting up the middle. Easy to adjust during a race to give you the very best fit for any situation.

Sidi Heel Cup

A reinforced heel helps hold your feet in an optimal position. The extra strength also prevents the shoe losing its shape when exposed to prolonged pressure and extreme performance, so you can ride with confidence.

High Security Velcro

Integrated polymer teeth that lock in to place when you close the strap make for a more secure fit. With the strap becoming almost immovable, you can be sure of a a secure fit.
