Review: Sidi anniversary footwear with great comfort and a sole with adjustable venting cycling SidiSport
The Sidi Sixty road shoes – made to celebrate Sidi's 60th birthday – offer an uncompromisingly stiff sole with adjustable ventilation but this is balanced with excellent comfort that's sufficient for day-long rides. However, the hefty £360 price for a pair of shoes quipped with a Velcro strap, albeit in addition to the dial system that you'd expect at this price, is an interesting choice by Sidi.
This was my first experience with Sidi shoes, and I was initially uncertain about their narrow fit I had heard about. However, in the end I was very pleasantly surprised, as they proved to be more accommodating than I expected. Nevertheless, if you do have wider feet, I'd still suggest exploring other brands' shoes first, as the Sidis still might prove a bit snug if you have broader feet.
I was impressed by Sidi's Tecno-4 Push dial system, which effectively distributes tension across your upper foot, with a Velcro strap across the toes. Not only did the shoes lack any noticeable hot spots, but the dial system also made for quick and easy adjustments to get the comfort just right. This might be more of a psychological than a practical disadvantage in a sprint, but I would still like to have been able to tighten the shoes a tad more.
