Men's SIDI Sierra

For decades, SIDI cycling shoes have been among the most popular options for cyclists. When SIDI debuted their first shoes in 1973, cycling shoes still consisted of a leather and wood lace-up and nail-on cleats. Thus, when SIDI began offering shoes with adjustable cleat position, nylon soles, they became pioneers in the modern era of cycling shoes. Since then, SIDI indoor cycling shoes like the SIDI Sierra have become well known for their balance of style and comfort with effective design for both indoor and outdoor cycling.

SIDI offered the first Velcro strap closure for their cycling shoes in 1983, an innovation that was built upon with the first ratcheting buckle closure in 1989. Both innovations have become so commonplace among cycling and Spinning® shoes today that they are frequently taken for granted. For the SIDI Sierra, the three Velcro straps can be adjusted to comfortably accommodate a variety of foot shapes. To further enhance comfort, the anatomically shaped, glass fiber reinforced sole helps stabilize the foot throughout each stroke, and the ThermoPlastic Urethane heel cup molds around the rider's heel.

SIDI Sierra features toe spike compatibility as well as attachment points for cleats. The shoe features a 10 mm fore/aft cleat alignment scale, however, be aware that not all cleats will be designed to fit well with every pedal. Fortunately, SIDI Sierra's sole was designed with easy cleat replacement in mind, so cleats can be switched out or removed in order to utilize a variety of pedal types. Most Spinner® bikes have dual purpose pedals fitted for cleated shoes on one side and fitted straps on the other, so SIDI Sierra can still be worn effectively without cleats that fit the pedals at your home or gym.

Differences in style and contouring to each foot may seem minor, but when you consider the number of energy exerted with every push and pull of the pedal, the friction can build up quickly especially over the course of a sustained fitness regimen. For cyclists committed to their indoor cycling workout, quality cycling shoes like from SIDI can make a significant difference in endurance, strength and overall health. While SIDI Sierra shoes are designed for comfort among a variety of foot types, you can still enhance comfort and efficiency even further by ensuring you've found the proper size for your foot.
