Genius 5 Euro Edition Shoes - Men's

The Genius 5 is one of Sidi's bestselling shoe models, and it's now available in Euro Edition colors so you can set yourself apart from the other cyclists you're likely to see sporting the classic Italian brand's popular design.

Sidi constructs the upper of the shoes with its Lorica microfiber, a synthetic crafted to have the durability and suppleness of leather while repelling water and remaining easy to clean. Sidi punctuates the Lorica with mesh paneling to help manage ventilation and keep you cool. Sidi is known for making shoes that have an almost custom fit, and the Genius 5 is no exception. Two hook-and-loop straps with a two-way ratcheting buckle allow to you dial in the fit that works best for you, and they're easy to reach from the saddle for on-the-go adjustments. To help protect the top of your foot against pressure points, Sidi includes a padded tongue and its Soft Instep Closure system, so you get a fit that's secure without being tight.

Unlike the nylon construction of the Millennium 2, the Genius 5's Millennium 3 sole is constructed from carbon fiber injected into a nylon matrix, which gives it added resistance to temperature extremes and improves its longevity. The stiffness makes for efficient power transfer throughout your pedal stroke, as does the Sidi Heel Cup, which locks your heel in place to prevent power-sapping heel slippage for smooth rides, season after season.
