FAQs
What type of cycling are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for road cycling, performance riding, racing, and demanding training due to their stiff carbon composite sole and secure fit system.
How do I clean the knit upper?
Wipe the knit upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush with mild soap and water, then rinse lightly and allow to air dry completely.
What is the stiffness index of the R3CC carbon composite outsole?
The R3CC carbon composite outsole has a stiffness index of 6, which is designed for a good balance between efficient power transfer and comfort.
Are the cleats included with the shoes?
Cleats are typically not included with cycling shoes and must be purchased separately. These shoes are compatible with standard 3-bolt road bike cleat systems.
How do I adjust the fit using the NUUN dials?
Turn the dials clockwise to tighten the shoe and counter-clockwise to loosen. Make small adjustments until you achieve a snug, secure fit without excessive pressure.
Can I replace the dials if they break?
Yes, the NUUN dials are designed to be replaceable. If a dial is damaged, you can purchase replacement parts from authorized Sidi dealers.
What is the warranty period for Sidi cycling shoes?
Warranty information can vary. Please refer to the official Sidi Sport Srl documentation or contact your point of purchase for specific warranty details regarding your shoes.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty tightening or loosening the NUUN dials
Ensure the dial cables are clean and free of debris. If they feel stiff, try gently working the dials back and forth. If issues persist, consult the manufacturer for potential replacement parts.
Pressure points or discomfort during a ride
Re-adjust the NUUN dials for a less constrictive fit. Ensure the Firmor X internal wrap is positioned correctly for your arch. Consider the stiffness index of the sole; it may be too rigid for very casual riding. If the issue is persistent, check cleat positioning.
Shoes feel overly warm or lack ventilation
While designed for breathability, extreme heat can still be a factor. Ensure the open-cell knit is clear of dirt. The shoes offer good ventilation, but comfort is subjective; consider shorter rides or alternative footwear for exceptionally hot conditions.
Heel pad wears out quickly
The heel pads are designed to be replaceable. Purchase genuine Sidi replacement heel pads and follow instructions for replacement to restore grip and protect the outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Cleat Installation: Ensure your cleats are compatible with a 3-bolt system. Mount your cleats to the outsole using the provided screws, aligning them according to your preferred pedaling position. Utilize the independent cleat adjustment feature for fine-tuning.
- Fit Adjustment: Before your first ride, put on the shoes and tighten the NUUN dials until snug. Ensure there are no pressure points. Adjust the Firmor X internal wrap for arch support as needed.
Compatibility:
- These shoes are designed for standard 3-bolt road bike pedal systems (e.g., SPD-SL, Look Keo). Please verify compatibility with your chosen pedals.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For the interior, use a soft brush and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the dials and cables for wear. Inspect heel pads for wear and replace if necessary. The heel pads and dials are designed to be replaceable.
