The Gold Standard in Cycling Shoes Behind the Legend Sidi’s leadership begins with respect for shoes. Sidi shoes are the crucial link between you and your bike, channeling your power to your machine. This page can describe Sidi’s innovations, materials and designs, but it cannot convey how well these shoes fit. Sidi confirms the mystery of performance footwear that comes with almost barefoot comfort, good looks and fun-to-wear features. Feeling is believing. Come in, and try some on. Sidi shoes fit most major pedal systems and range from $134 to $463. Sidi enters the 21st Century cherishing old world craftsmanship, embracing high-tech materials and steadfast in its passion for design and performance. Cyclists’ reverence for the quality and fit of Sidi shoes, handmade in Northern Italy for almost 50 years, makes Sidi the brand to which all other cycling shoes are compared. Come in and see why so many of us, our customers and the world’s pro cyclists ride in Sidi. Sign Up and Focus Having a goal, like an upcoming race or century ride, can rejuvenate your training. Choose an event by searching the web, asking around or talking with us. With every ride you take, you'll have a newfound purpose in preparing for the big day. Here are some tips on getting prepared. Train. Now’s the time to focus. Develop a specific training schedule – buy a book, hire a coach, search online – that has you reaching peak fitness and form. Make training a priority. Train your stomach. Train with whatever nutrition (bars, gels, energy drinks) you want to use the day of your event. You don’t want to discover that something upsets your stomach during your race or big ride.

Do this two weeks out so that any fixes, or parts that need to be ordered, can be done in time for you to get back on your bike before the event. Pack early. Lay out your gear ahead of time to make sure you don’t forget anything (Helmet? Water bottle or hydration pack?). Pack your toolkit and inventory your nutrition. Eat well. Many events have carboloading dinners the night before, but don’t overload. Your body won’t be used to digesting an excess amount of food, and you’ll feel sluggish in the morning. Rest well. Get a good night’s sleep the night before the event. Set a failsafe alarm that’s loud enough so you have to get up to turn it off. Relax and have fun. On the day of the big event, enjoy the excitement. Live in the moment, knowing you are doing the best you can. Sidi on the trail Sidi mountain bike shoes adapt the proven fit and pedaling features of Sidi road shoes to the rougher environment of dirt and rocky trails. The biggest difference is a sole that works hard off the bike. Its deep tread provides traction for scrambling on irregular surfaces and a softer flex makes walking easier. Some models have replaceable sole tread.
