Sidi's reputation is not built upon making the most featherweight cycling shoes, or boasting about using the most technologically advanced materials. What the brand does best is produce incredibly well made and performance focussed cycling shoes that have almost unrivalled durability and, let's be honest, great looks. It's why so many of the pro peloton wear them. Case in point is this shoe, the Sidi Genius 10, which is one of the best cycling shoes

The Genius has gone through many changes over its tenure as a mainstay in the Sidi range. This new Genius 10 has a new sole and closure system compared to its previous version. It has all the hallmarks of a classic Sidi shoe with its clean looking, perforated upper, iconic heel cup and the longstanding Tecno-3 retention dials.
