Title-Sidi Genius 4 Shoe

  • "WHY IT'S TOP: Perfect blend of old-world craftsmanship and high tech materials."
  • "BUT..Might be too narrow if you need a wide toe box, or not stiff enough if you like ultra-efficient carbon soles."
  • "ON YOUR FOOT: The Genius cradles the foot in otherwordly comfort. So tailored is the hand-stitched upper that almost no edge is straight, yet from the inside this mishmash of Lorica, mesh and plastic is smooth and nearly seamless. Hours into a ride, you look at your feet, remember you're wearing cylcing shoes, and wonder why your feet don't hurt. They're that insanely comfortable.
  • "OUR VERDICT: Your pay premium for this made-in-Italy shoe, but deservedly so. If you like narrow designs, this could be the best-fitting upper you'll ever ride with. Plus, the sole works with any current pedal system.
