SidiRubber Heel Pads
Item # SID0048
Protect your investment, and your butt.
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.
- Polyurethane rubber heel pads
- 3 replacement options available: the Millenium 2, Millenium 3 and the Carbon Composite sole
- Includes two replacement pads and two screws

What can I say other than theses shoes are great. Parts wear out and you just replace them. The replacement heels fit perfect and work great.

Nice fresh heel pads!

While doing maintenance on my Sidi's, I noticed my pads were quite worn. Ordered a couple pairs of these. Received them super quick. Installed in a matter of a minute or two. Ah - fresh heel pads. I had to trim off the little plastic spike, but other than that, these were good to go right out of the bag. Highly recommend these for your premium Sidi shoes!

Revived my 10-year Sidis
My favorite road shoes are a 10-year old pair of Sidi Genius that I thought I was going to have to retire this year. But I just changed the heel pad and now feel good continue to clomp around in them for a while longer. It was super easy to swap out -- just unscrew an allen bolt and rescrew in the new pad.

Replacement heels

I have a pair of Genius 5 shoes that I've had for what must be almost 10 years! They're in great condition so I'm not willing to replace them just yet which says something about the quality of Sidi shoes! So, I had to replace the heels which had worn out and looking at Competitive Cyclist, I found some replacement heels, though in the spec, it didn't list (or I couldn't find!) my model listed, only the more recent Sidi ones. (They probably don't think anyone still has such an old shoe!) I took a gamble and ordered a pair and they appeared very quickly, so I couldn't wait to get them fitted. What I found was that although they are the same shape as the old ones, the new ones have a plastic locating pin as well as the screw to hold it in place. My Genius 5's only have the screw, so they wouldn't fit! That was easily solved by cutting off the plastic pin with some wire cutters, the heel now fitted perfectly and my shoes are like new again!

Heel cups are easy to install. The screw tends to loosen quickly; check often! Also, the rubber on these cups wears out quickly and the cups need to be replaced often.

The rubber on these caps wear out quickly. Additionally, the tiny screw that is used to attach the caps to the shoes can be worn down quickly and if so, you're in a world of hurt unscrewing it! Pay attention to the wear of that screw and replace these heel caps often!

Fits older shoes too

These fit my older shoes and gave them new life. Shoes are about 5 years old and have a few years left in them thanks to new heel pads.

Heel cup replacements
- Familiarity:

- True to size
Easy to install heel cups on the back of Sidi shoes. My only concern is that the tiny screw that is used to attach the cups to the shoes wears down quicker than the rubber cup. If one doesn't notice the screw worn down then one will have to have the screw taken out cautiously so as to not strip the hole where the screw is goes into.

Just knowing this critical wear part is replaceable made it a no brainer to buy a pair of wire mesh shoes. I wore through the fixed heel pads in less than 3 months and don't walk around that much when doing my centuries.

Give 'em a makeover!
- Familiarity:

Every time I replace my heel pads on my Wire's, it puts a smile on my face, knowing that the shoes will feel almost new afterwards (walking around anyways) and I'm protecting the vulnerable carbon sole. So nice that they are replaceable at all, that fact definitely extends the overall life of the shoes.

Scheduled maintenance at a great price
- Familiarity:

Took advantage of a CC sale to lay in what is an annual consumable! At the price, it was easy to justify replacing the two most worn heel pads among my 3 pairs of Sidi road shoes, perhaps a little "early".

Don't wait until its to late

If you have a set of sidi's with the Millenium 3 sole get a set of these now and check your shoes regularly. I waited until it was obvious to order. by the time I replaced mine I had to carve the old ones apart with a knife to get to the screw with a set of pliers as the phillips head of the screw was damaged beyond use. Being replaceable they will keep your shoes usefull for a long time.

Purchase Sidi heel cups. All Sidi carbon shoes will accept these heel cups. The cups come with two small tips that may or may not fit into shoe. If your shoe doesn't need the two tips then you can easily twist them off. Continue to watch for the screw that attaches the cup to the shoes. If the screw head is worn down then you will have to manipulate it out. Don't pull the screw out as that will strip the bore hole where the screw needs to be put in.
