FAQs
What type of riding are these shoes best suited for?
The Sidi FAST cycling shoes, with their stiff Carbon Composite sole and precise closure, are ideal for road cycling, including performance riding, racing, and long-distance endurance efforts where power transfer is crucial.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Sidi sizing chart and measure your foot length. The specific model is listed as UK 9.5. Comparing your foot measurement to the chart will help ensure the best fit, though trying them on is always recommended if possible.
Can I use these shoes with mountain bike pedals?
No, these shoes are designed for road cycling and are compatible with 3-bolt road cleat systems. They are not compatible with the 2-bolt cleats typically used for mountain biking.
How do I adjust the Tecno 3 closure system?
The Tecno 3 system usually involves a central dial. Turning it one way tightens the cable, and turning it the other way loosens it, allowing for fine-tuning of the fit across the shoe.
How often should I expect to replace the heel?
The lifespan of the replaceable heel depends on riding frequency, intensity, and walking habits. Inspect it periodically for significant wear and replace it when it impacts stability or comfort.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Microtech microfiber upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not fully waterproof. They are designed for cycling performance in various conditions but may not be suitable for prolonged heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty closing or opening the Tecno 3 system
Ensure the mechanism is free of dirt and debris. Gently clean around the dial and cable with a small brush. If persistent, contact customer support.
Hot spots or pressure points during riding
Loosen the Tecno 3 closure system slightly. Ensure cleats are positioned correctly. Consider using different socks or consulting a professional bike fitter.
Sole feels too stiff initially
This is normal for high-performance carbon soles. Wear the shoes for shorter rides initially and gradually increase ride duration to allow your feet to adapt.
Heel feels loose or worn
The heel is designed to be replaceable. Inspect the wear and replace the heel component following manufacturer instructions or by a qualified service center.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Cleat Installation: Ensure you have compatible cycling cleats (typically 3-bolt road cleats). Align the cleats on the sole of the shoe to your preferred position for optimal pedaling biomechanics. Tighten securely.
- Fit Adjustment: Before your first ride, put on the shoes and use the Tecno 3 closure system to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure there are no pressure points.
Compatibility:
- These shoes are designed for use with most standard 3-bolt road pedal systems.
- Ensure your cycling pedals are compatible with the chosen cleat type.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the Microtech microfiber upper. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material.
- Sole: Clean the Carbon Composite Sole with a soft brush and water to remove dirt and debris.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the Tecno 3 closure system for debris and ensure it operates smoothly. Inspect the replaceable heel for wear and replace as needed.
