Wire 2 Air Vent Carbon Cycling Shoe

Sidi's Wire 2 Air Vent Carbon Cycling Shoe is essentially the same as the Wire 2, but comes with a heavily perforated upper for extra ventilation when the temperature rises. It also sees the same updates as the Wire 2, improving fit and comfort over the previous generation while bridging the gap to their top-tier shoe the Shot. Like the Shot, the Wire 2 Air Carbon has the lower dial relocated to the top of the tongue for a more comfortable fit with equal tension across the whole foot. The instep strap has been made a bit narrower too, with more flexibility and the addition of padded edges to further improve comfort. One thing that hasn't changed is Sidi's unrivaled craftsmanship, ensuring these latest Wire 2 Air shoes continue the legacy of this esteemed Italian shoe brand that’s graced the feet of multiple Grand Tour winners.


Sidi shoes are well renowned for their comfort and stiffness, but Sidi hasn't attained its dominance by resting on laurels and leaving innovation for its competitors. While many shoe brands will outsource it's dial closures to BOA, the Wire 2 utilizes Sidi's own Techno 3 dial. Most notably, it allows for adjustments of each of the shoe's instep and forefoot buckles and is significantly more intuitive and easier to do while in the saddle. Loosening each buckle is a simple affair — you can pinch both buttons on either side of the buckle to unwind the line closure, or you can toggle each button for extremely precise incremental adjustment. Tightening the shoe should also be familiar: just open the buckle's switch and wind the buckle. Sidi uses a supple, low-friction line material to keep the buckle action smooth. Not only does the Techno 3 make the shoe's overall aesthetic even cleaner, but it also allows for an even greater degree of micro adjustability and fit consistency across the entire shoe. This ensures that you get the perfect fit every single time you buckle up for a ride. And for those who prefer as snug a fit as possible, the shoe's Soft Instep Closure System has generous padding for supreme comfort with tight buckles.


Sole duties are handled by the Vent Carbon Sole, complete with a replaceable, polyurethane heel pad to improve walkability, and a replaceable, integrated toe pad/vent cover. The sole isn't only impressive because of its efficient power transfer, thanks to its light weight and stiffness, it also aids in all-weather comfort. Using integrated vent and air channels, it allows for exhausting pent-up heat as well as increasing air flow. The vent can be opened in the summer to keep your feet cool and closed during those long base mile winter days. Sidi paid special attention to the layup of the carbon fiber and it features opposing angles that maximize stiffness while allowing for a small degree of controlled flex in the toe area. According to Sidi, this carefully designed flex biomechanically relieves stress on the plantar tendon and helps promote circulation.


Also returning from previous top-shelf offerings is Sidi's vastly improved Heel Security System (or HSS) to keep your foot positively planted in the shoe. By means of a small Allen key, it's an adjustable, rigid composite band that closes the shoe more securely over your heel to anchor it in place around your Achilles. So, no matter how much power you're pouring into the pedals, your heel will stay in place inside the shoe. It's a detail that allows you to cinch down the straps of your shoes less tightly — giving you more comfort along with more security.


With a degree of engineered flex in the Carbon Sole and a secure and slip-free heel, you won't have to worry about hot spots. And you don't have to worry about heat in the rest of your feet, either, with the Wire's combination of Techpro Microfiber and ballistic mesh — giving you comfort, breathability, and durability.

Could not be more pleased. The shoes fit perfectly and performs even better. The closure system is great and allows the smallest of adjustment needed. There is a reason for the price.. you get the best! I am sure these will last many years. Plus the gearhead who helped me, Elizabeth was amazing and made sure I was getting what I was looking for. Rockstars all around!

Great shoes

These are among the best shoes available. You're never going to have cool feet on a hot day, but the vent carbon sole and the perforated upper really help prevent heat build-up. The adjustable heel retention device is easy to adjust and, once adjusted, eliminates heel slippage. The last is fairly narrow, especially in the toe-box; as a result, I had to go up a half-size to accommodate my D-width feet.

High quality shoe - best for wide feet

Familiarity:
I returned this product before using it

The sidi wire is a beautiful high quality shoe. The midfoot area of the shoe was too wide for my foot, however, and the tongue cuts into the ankle.
