FAQs
How do I know if my Sidi shoes have the Soft Instep 2 system?
Look at the closure system on the top of your Sidi shoes. The Soft Instep 2 system typically features a wide, padded strap across the forefoot that adjusts with a buckle and ratchet mechanism. If your shoes have a different mechanism, like thin wires or a dial, they likely use a different system (e.g., Techno 3).
Can I use these on any Sidi cycling shoes?
No, these are specifically for Sidi shoes equipped with the Soft Instep 2 system. They are not compatible with shoes using the Techno 3 system or other closure mechanisms. Please check the compatible shoe models listed.
Are these parts sold individually or as a pair?
The Sidi Soft Instep 2 parts are sold in pairs, providing both the left and right side components for your shoes.
How difficult is the installation process?
The installation is designed to be straightforward and can usually be done with basic tools. It involves removing the old parts and attaching the new ones in their place.
What is the main benefit of the Soft Instep 2 system?
The Soft Instep 2 system is designed to distribute pressure evenly across the forefoot, providing enhanced comfort and preventing numbness or pressure points during long rides.
What should I do if the replacement part doesn't fit?
First, double-check that your shoe model is listed as compatible. If it is, ensure the part is oriented correctly and aligned with the original mounting points. If issues persist, contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
