Sidi Shoes Cycling Products for Sale
Sidi is a brand that develops and manufactures high performance shoes for cycling and motorcycling. It also makes other products including clothing and accessories, but most of its product range is made up of shoes. In addition, the majority of its efforts are focused on shoe design, innovation, and marketing.
Sidi is an Italian company that was founded in 1960. When it first started, however, it made footwear for mountain sports. It wasn't until the 1970's that it started to specialize in cycling shoes.
The company went on to develop new technologies and innovations, leading it to the respected position it holds in the industry today. For example, it was the first company to develop a cycling shoe with a screw-based shoe plate fixing system. This was in 1973. Before then, cycling shoes used nails to fix the shoe plates in place. This obviously meant it was very difficult to set them up, move the plate, or adjust them. Sidi changed this forever.
Other innovations include carbon soles and innovative shoe adjustment features.
This high performance functionality has led to Sidi shoes being a favorite choice among many of the world's top cyclists. This includes Tour de France winner Chris Froome plus top cyclists Tony Martin, Esteban Chaves, Richie Porte, and more.
While functionality and performance dominate the main features in the range of Sidi shoes, they are also stylishly designed. After all, the brand is Italian, so you can expect flair and striking colors in the range of Sidi shoes available on Bike Exchange.
