FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road cycling or only triathlons?
While designed for triathlons, the Carbon Composite 20 sole makes them highly effective for road cycling; however, the closure system is optimized for quick entry rather than micro-adjustability.
How do I clean my Sidi T-5 AIR shoes?
Wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submersion and never use harsh detergents or solvents.
Are the heel pads replaceable?
Yes, the anti-slip heel pads are replaceable to ensure your shoes stay functional over many seasons.
Can I use SPD cleats with these shoes?
The T-5 AIR typically uses a 3-bolt road cleat pattern. Check your specific pedal type as standard road pedals will be compatible.
What is the primary benefit of the carbon sole?
The carbon composite material provides extreme stiffness, which prevents energy loss during the downward stroke of the pedal rotation.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during high-intensity pedaling
Adjust the tension of the quick-closure straps and ensure the heel cup is properly seated against the back of your heel.
Cleats are loosening or shifting
Check the mounting bolts for correct torque and ensure the interface between the cleat and the carbon sole is clean.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Specifically designed for triathlon efficiency
- Excellent power transfer via Carbon Composite sole
- Highly durable construction with replaceable parts
- Maintains structural integrity when wet
Cons
- Not suitable for casual riding or walking long distances
- Requires specific cleat compatibility checks

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first ride, ensure your chosen pedal cleats are correctly installed on the three-hole bolt pattern of the Carbon Composite 20 sole. Use a torque wrench if available to avoid over-tightening. For ongoing care, remove debris from the sole after rides, especially after outdoor conditions. If the shoes become wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage. The replaceable heel pad should be inspected periodically; if the anti-slip tread is worn down to the mounting screws, order a replacement to maintain traction during transitions.
