The road test
Like all shoes Sidi this model Genius 5.5 Carbon Luxury Woman is well made and with a finish of the upper very special and elegant. Beautiful soles and in general the perfect finishing touch, even in the most hidden. Good and accurate reference points for the cleats, the cleat truly interchangeable soft rubber. The fit is excellent and the interior soft and the softness of the uppers allow maximum comfort level. The closure of the shoe is easy, perfect maneuverability of straps with Velcro and just the pawl, very smooth and easy to use, even in the saddle, where he appreciates the opportunity to release the strap one click at a time. Welcomes the fact that closing the shoe comfort remains strong on high values. Good, although not exceptional, the ventilation of the foot and the perfect weight and very low among the best in class. Moving appreciates the excellent stiffness of the new sole, perfect and able to meet all the athletes. The closure effectively allows you to still love the foot to the shoe allowing for efficient pedalling and round, even better than the containment of the heel, with virtually no movement, even under traction. Even the side containment of the foot that is more efficient, thanks to the good shape of the upper and to the closing of the shoe so as to fully satisfy even those who like a sprinter or raise the action on the pedals, with a perfect transfer of power. The overall comfort remains a high level, even over long distances, with the sole exception of a ventilation of the foot away, but that does not create special problems. In conclusion an excellent model of shoes, designed for women with a very high build quality. There are obvious flaws and agony that are suitable to the tourist. Among the advantages in addition to comfort, light weight, rigidity of the sole of the foot and containment. The only flaw, good ventilation of the foot, but less than some competitors and then that there is only colour available. The price is about 210 euros, a price high, but proportionate to the quality of the shoe.
