FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for triathlon?
While breathable and featuring a secure fit, these shoes are primarily designed for road cycling performance. For triathlon, shoes with quicker entry/exit mechanisms and specific triathlon features might be more suitable.
What is the stiffness index of the outsole?
The R3CC carbon composite outsole has a stiffness index of 6, providing a good balance between power transfer and comfort.
How do I replace the heel pads?
Heel pads are designed to be replaceable. Gently pry out the old pad and insert the new one, ensuring it snaps securely into place. Refer to Sidi's official documentation for detailed instructions.
Can I use these shoes with mountain bike pedals?
No, these shoes are designed for road cycling with a 3-bolt cleat pattern and are not compatible with 2-bolt mountain bike cleat systems.
How do the dual dials work?
The dual NUUN 001C dials allow for precise, independent adjustment of the fit across different parts of the shoe. Turn clockwise to tighten, and pull the dial outwards to release the tension.
What makes the upper so breathable?
The upper is constructed from an open-cell knit material combined with TPU. This construction allows air to pass through freely, enhancing ventilation and keeping your feet cool.
What is the warranty period for these shoes?
Please refer to the Sidi Sport Srl warranty information provided with your purchase or on their official website, as warranty periods can vary by region and retailer.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty tightening or loosening dials
Ensure the dial and wire mechanism is clean and free of debris. If the wire appears frayed or damaged, it may need replacement.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Readjust the dual NUUN dials for a more even pressure distribution. Ensure the Firmor X wrap is not overly tightened. Consider if the shoe size is correct for your foot shape.
Squeaking noise during pedaling
Check that cleats are securely fastened to the outsole. Inspect the outsole for any debris. Ensure the crank arms and pedals are properly maintained.
Heel slippage
Adjust the rear dial to increase tension around the heel. Ensure the Firmor X system is providing adequate arch support. Consider using thicker socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have the correct size. Refer to Sidi sizing charts if unsure.
- Install your cycling cleats onto the R3CC carbon composite outsole. The outsole features independent cleat adjustment for precise alignment. Use a compatible pedal system (e.g., SPD-SL, Look KEO).
- Adjust the dual NUUN 001C dials for a snug but comfortable fit. Turn clockwise to tighten, pull outwards to release.
Compatibility:
- Designed for road cycling pedals using standard 3-bolt cleat patterns.
- Compatible with most major clipless pedal systems.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For the interior, use a mild soap and water solution if necessary, ensuring thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the dials and wires for wear. Replace heel pads and dials as needed using genuine Sidi parts.
