Sidi Heel

These pads are designed to fit most standard Sidi road cycling shoes that feature replaceable heel inserts. We recommend checking the heel of your current shoe to ensure it has the screw-in attachment point before purchasing.

The process is straightforward and typically requires only a standard screwdriver. You simply unscrew the worn-out pad and secure the new one in its place, making it a quick maintenance task you can do at home.

Yes, by acting as a sacrificial layer, these pads take the brunt of the contact with the ground. Replacing them regularly helps preserve the integrity of your shoe's sole and prevents permanent damage to the heel area.

While they significantly improve traction on smooth or slick surfaces compared to a worn-down heel, they won't make walking in road cleats feel like wearing sneakers. They are designed to provide better stability and confidence during short transitions off the bike.

You should replace them when the rubber tread pattern is visibly worn down or smooth. If you notice yourself slipping more frequently on tile or wet pavement, it is a clear sign that the grip material has lost its effectiveness.
