FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for mountain biking?
The FAST 2 is designed primarily for road cycling efficiency; they are not intended for off-road use or walking on rough terrain.
Can I replace the sole if it wears out?
While the sole itself is integrated, various parts like the heel pad are replaceable to extend the life of the shoe.
How do I ensure the correct size?
The UK sizing follows standard cycling shoe sizing. We recommend checking your foot length against a standard cycling conversion chart as these are a performance fit.
What material is used for the upper?
The shoes feature a high-quality Politex Matt upper, which is designed to be tough, durable, and easy to clean.
Are these shoes compatible with SPD-SL cleats?
Yes, the Aerolite sole is compatible with standard three-hole road cycling cleat systems including SPD-SL.
Troubleshooting
Dial closure feels stiff or does not click
Check the dial mechanism for dirt or dried mud; clean gently with a soft brush or compressed air.
Heel slippage while pedaling
Re-tighten the dial closure to ensure a secure fit, and verify your socks are not too slippery.
Cleat bolts coming loose
Periodically check and tighten the cleat bolts, using a small amount of thread-locker if they continue to loosen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Sidi FAST 2 shoes, ensure your cleats are properly aligned with your pedal system before your first ride. Regularly check the dial closure for debris that might hinder smooth operation. To clean, use a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the Politex material. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the stiff soles.
