FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road racing?
While technically usable, they are specifically optimized for triathlon transitions and may lack the micro-adjustability required for long-distance road racing.
Can I replace the heel pad on these shoes?
Yes, the T-5 AIR features a replaceable anti-slip heel pad to help prolong the life of your footwear.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They are designed to handle moisture effectively during a triathlon, utilizing materials that absorb water without losing stiffness.
What kind of cleats do these shoes accept?
These shoes are compatible with most standard three-bolt road cycling cleat systems.
How should I clean my T-5 AIR shoes?
Clean with mild soap and cool water, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty securing the quick closure system
Ensure the straps are free of debris or grit from the transition area and check that the closure hardware is aligned correctly.
Excessive slippage while walking
Check the condition of the replaceable anti-slip heel pad; if it is worn down, replace it with a genuine Sidi replacement part.
Foot discomfort during long rides
Ensure the shoe size is correct and verify that the cleats are positioned according to your professional bike fit specifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, verify your pedal cleat system matches the mounting holes provided on the Carbon Composite 20 sole. When tightening cleats, use a torque wrench if recommended by your cleat manufacturer to avoid cracking the composite material.
Care instructions include:
- After a race, rinse off salt or dirt with cool, fresh water.
- Air dry the shoes in a shaded, well-ventilated area—avoid direct heat sources like heaters or intense sunlight which can deform the materials.
- Periodically inspect the anti-slip heel pad for wear and replace it if the grip is compromised to maintain safety when walking.
