Full details
The Sidi Soft Instep 5 is designed for cyclists who prioritize long-ride comfort and need a reliable replacement part for their footwear.

FAQs
Are these straps sold individually or as a set?
The Soft Instep 5 is sold in pairs, covering both the left and right shoe.
Can I use these on my older Sidi shoes?
These are specifically compatible with Wire 2S, Drako 2S, Genius 10, and MTB Eagle 10. Check your specific model before purchase.
Do I need special tools to install them?
No, the Soft Instep 5 is designed for tool-free installation and removal.
How do I know if my strap needs replacing?
If you notice the ratchet teeth have worn down, the strap slips during use, or the padding is tearing, it is time for a replacement.
What is the primary benefit of the 'Soft' design?
The soft, anatomically padded material distributes closure force over a larger surface area, preventing localized pain.
Troubleshooting
Strap slipping while riding
Check the internal ratchet teeth for debris and ensure the strap is fully engaged in the closure buckle.
Strap feels tight or uncomfortable
Re-center the anatomical pad over the highest point of your instep and adjust the tension dial slightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Soft Instep 5, simply remove the old strap by releasing the attachment points on the shoe's shell and sliding the new strap into the existing slots. Ensure the padded side is facing toward your foot.
Compatibility: This part is specifically designed for:
- Wire 2S
- Drako 2S
- Genius 10

Care Instructions: To extend the lifespan of the material, wipe the strap down with a damp cloth after rides to remove salt from perspiration or mud from the road. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these can degrade the synthetic padding over time. Inspect the plastic teeth of the strap periodically for signs of wear and replace if they begin to slip.
