Sidi Genius 5.5 Carbon Composite Bike Shoe - Men's

With a new, lighter Carbon Composite sole, the Men's Genius 5.5 brings even more performance to Sidi's outstanding line of cycling shoes. Replacing last year's two-piece Hi-Tech carbon sole, the 2008 Genius 5.5 features an injected carbon sole fused to a nylon matrix, resulting in reduced weight and added stiffness for racers and dedicated enthusiasts alike. Sidi carefully designs their carbon inserts for optimal performance, while building in foot-saving flex to keep you riding long and strong. The Genius 5.5 also incorporates Sidi's legendary Lorica upper, Ultra SL buckle, and High Security hook-and-loop strap fastening system.

Bottom Line: Sidi's Genius 5.5 turns up the power with the magic of carbon.
