Product Information
Full details
The Sidi Genius X Vapo cycling shoes are designed for performance-minded cyclists who demand a balance between breathability, stability, and power transfer. Featuring an innovative open-cell knit upper and an R3CC carbon composite sole, these shoes offer a lightweight, secure fit ideal for long road rides, though riders preferring extreme ultra-stiffness for sprinting might find the moderate stiffness index of 6 a compromise compared to pure race-day alternatives.

FAQs
Are the dials replaceable?
Yes, the NUUN 001C dials and the heel pads are replaceable to ensure your shoes stay functional for years.
What does the stiffness index of 6 mean?
It indicates a balanced level of rigidity that provides efficient power transfer while remaining comfortable enough for long-duration rides.
How should I clean the knit upper?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Gently scrub the knit material and allow it to air dry. Do not machine wash.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The anatomical design and adjustable dials offer good accommodation, but Sidi shoes traditionally have a tailored, performance fit.
Does the shoe include cleats?
No, cleats are generally sold separately by the pedal manufacturer and are not included with the shoes.
Troubleshooting
Dial tension feels loose or slips
Clean the dial mechanism to remove road debris and ensure the lace guide is free of obstructions.
Foot discomfort during long rides
Adjust the dual dials to redistribute pressure across the instep and check that the internal wrap is not cinched too tightly.
Heel slippage
Ensure the rear heel pad is not worn down and tighten the lower dial to better secure the mid-foot area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal setup, ensure your cleats are properly aligned using the independent cleat adjustment system to match your natural biomechanics. The shoes are compatible with standard road pedal systems. To maintain the life of the shoes, avoid submerging the knit upper in deep mud or grit. Clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush and mild soap; allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the carbon composite material or the dial tension system. Check the heel pads periodically and replace them if you notice significant wear to maintain consistent walkability and protection.
