FAQs
How do I know if I need to replace my Soft Instep 2?
If your existing instep straps are visibly worn, stretched, have lost their elasticity, or if you experience discomfort or a poor fit in the mid-foot area of your Sidi shoes, it's time for a replacement.
Are these straps sold individually?
No, the Sidi Soft Instep 2 parts are sold in pairs, including straps for both the left and right shoe.
Can I fit these to any Sidi cycling shoes?
No, these are specifically designed for compatible Sidi models listed in the guide and are not compatible with shoes using the Techno 3 closure system.
What tools are needed for installation?
Typically, a small screwdriver (like a Phillips head) may be needed if your original straps were secured with screws. Check your specific shoe model for exact requirements.
How long should these replacement straps last?
With proper care and use, genuine Sidi spare parts are designed for durability. Lifespan depends on riding frequency, intensity, and environmental conditions.
Can I use these on a non-Sidi shoe?
No, these are genuine Sidi spare parts and are only designed to fit specific Sidi cycling shoe models.
What if the white colour doesn't perfectly match my older shoes?
While genuine, slight variations in colour dye lots can occur between production runs. The match should be very close for the same model year, but minor differences are possible.
Troubleshooting
Straps do not fit correctly.
Verify that your Sidi shoe model is listed as compatible and that it does not feature a Techno 3 closure system.
Difficulty removing old straps.
Consult the specific manual for your Sidi shoe model or search for online tutorials. Be careful not to damage the shoe base.
New straps feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure the straps are correctly aligned with the mounting points. Adjust the tension incrementally during fitting to achieve optimal comfort and security.
White colour appears inconsistent after fitting.
Ensure both new straps are from the same pair and have been handled similarly. Minor variations can sometimes occur in manufactured parts.
