Product Information
Full details
This guide is for mountain bikers who want to extend the life of their Sidi MTB shoes fitted with the RS17 sole. The key benefit is the ability to replace the worn toe tread, maintaining grip and the option to add crampons for adverse conditions. A caveat is that these are specific to the RS17 sole and compatible models. These official Sidi spare parts replace the toe area most prone to wear, ensuring continued performance for pedaling and walking.

FAQs
What does 'RS17 Sole' mean?
The RS17 is a specific sole design by Sidi for their MTB shoes, known for balancing stiffness for pedaling efficiency with flexibility for walking comfort. These inserts are designed to integrate with this particular sole.
Can I use these inserts on non-Sidi shoes?
No, these are official Sidi spare parts and are designed specifically for Sidi MTB shoes with the RS17 sole. They will not fit other brands or different Sidi sole types.
How do I know if my Sidi shoes have the RS17 sole?
Check the model name of your Sidi shoes (e.g., MTB Trace 2, MTB Eagle 10). You can also often find sole information on the Sidi website or by inspecting the sole for any 'RS17' markings.
Do these inserts come with screws?
Typically, spare parts like these are designed to be installed using the existing screws from the worn tread if they are in good condition. If screws are needed, they may be included, but it's best to check the product packaging or description.
How often should I replace the toe tread?
The replacement frequency depends heavily on usage. If you frequently walk in your shoes or ride in abrasive conditions, you may need to replace them sooner than riders who only pedal. Replace them when the tread is significantly worn down, affecting grip or stability.
What is the benefit of mounting crampons?
Mounting crampons provides significantly enhanced traction on slippery or loose surfaces like mud, ice, or snow. This is beneficial for cyclocross, extreme enduro, or winter riding conditions where walking or scrambling is required.
Are these inserts available in different colors?
These inserts are typically available in limited color options, often black, and sometimes with accent colors like red, depending on the original shoe design. Please refer to the specific product listing for available colors.
Troubleshooting
Inserts do not fit properly
Verify that your Sidi shoes are equipped with the RS17 MTB sole. These inserts are not compatible with other sole types.
Screws will not tighten
Ensure you are using the correct screws and that the threads in the shoe sole are not stripped. If threads are damaged, professional repair or shoe replacement may be necessary.
Crampons do not mount securely
Confirm that your specific shoe model and sole are designed to accept crampons with this insert. Ensure crampons are the correct type for the insert's mounting points.
