Product Information
Full details
The Sidi Prima cycling shoes are designed for adult female riders seeking a balance of comfort and performance for recreational and performance-oriented cycling. They offer a secure fit with the Firmor and Dial closure systems, ensuring efficient power transfer to the pedals. A potential consideration for some riders may be the stiffness of the Aerolite nylon and carbon sole, which, while beneficial for performance, might feel firm for very long, relaxed rides.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Sidi Prima shoes offer a good blend of performance and comfort, making them suitable for enthusiastic beginners looking for a reliable cycling shoe.
How do I clean the Politex Matt upper?
Wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, followed by a rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
What is the difference between the Firmor system and the Dial system?
The Firmor system is typically a hook-and-loop strap for securing the midfoot, while the Dial system is a rotating mechanism for precise micro-adjustments, usually on the forefoot, allowing for a customized fit.
Can I replace the cleat mounting plates?
Yes, Sidi shoes are designed with replaceable parts, which often includes the cleat mounting plates for extended durability.
What kind of cycling are these shoes best for?
The Sidi Prima shoes are versatile, suitable for road cycling, recreational rides, fitness cycling, and entry-level performance training.
How stiff is the Aerolite nylon and carbon sole?
The Aerolite nylon and carbon sole offers a performance-oriented stiffness designed for efficient power transfer. While not as stiff as a full carbon sole, it provides a significant advantage over less structured soles.
Do these shoes come with cleats?
Typically, cycling shoes are sold without cleats. You will need to purchase compatible 3-bolt cleats separately based on your pedal system.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty tightening the dial system
Ensure the dial is fully released before attempting to tighten. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism.
Heel slipping during ride
Adjust the Firmor strap for a more secure midfoot fit. Ensure the Sidi heel cup is providing adequate support. If the issue persists, the shoe size may not be optimal.
Discomfort on long rides
Ensure the shoes are correctly sized and not too tight. Consider if the sole stiffness is appropriate for your preferred riding style. Make micro-adjustments to the closures during the ride.
Straps not holding securely
Check the hook-and-loop (Velcro) on the Firmor strap for cleanliness and wear. Ensure the dial mechanism is functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Initial Fit: Before your first ride, try the shoes on with your cycling socks. Ensure the Dial system is loosened and the Firmor strap is unfastened.
- Adjusting the Dial System: Turn the dial clockwise to tighten. Small adjustments are key to finding the perfect snugness without discomfort.
- Securing the Firmor Strap: Fasten the strap across the midfoot, ensuring it provides firm support without cutting off circulation.
Compatibility:
- These cycling shoes are designed to be compatible with most common 3-bolt cleat systems (e.g., SPD-SL, Look Keo). Ensure your pedals and cleats are correctly installed.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the Politex Matt upper and sole with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place near direct heat sources.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the closure systems and replaceable parts for wear and tear. Refer to Sidi's guidelines for replacing parts.
