One very nice aspect of Sidi shoes is that they are designed with longevity in mind. Of course, their choice of materials in the uppers of their cycling shoes is always top-notch. And as a complement, the heel pads on the soles of the shoes are replaceable should they get worn down. They're inexpensive and easily replaced. Save your soles!

Sidi's stock heel pads are tough enough. But not unlike your cleats, excessive walking in your cycling shoes can eventually takes its toll on them. There are three different replacement heel pads available. The Millenium 2, Millenium 3 and the Carbon Composite sole, such as the '09 Genius 5.5 or the '09 Genius 5 Pro. You'll look for a rivet on the sole of your shoe and a corresponding notch in the heel pad. One set comes with 2 pads and 2 screws.

Note: We are currently out of stock on the Millenium 3 and Carbon Composite heel pad replacements.
