Sidi has specialized in cycling footwear since the 1970s. That's a wealth of experience and research to pour into the Shot Carbon Road shoe. Sidi's flagship road shoe is the weapon of choice for many in the pro peloton including three-time Tour de France champion, Chris Froome. Riders who want a lightweight, aerodynamic, and stiff road shoe choose the Shot Carbon to ensure they perform at the highest level.
WHO'S RIDING THIS SHOE
The Shot is the latest in the road cycling shoe offering from Sidi and is like nothing else in the range. Whilst it does contain all of the features you'd expect to find on any top end Sidi product, there are a few features which set this ahead of the others.
Firstly, the new Double Tecno-3 Push retention system sits along the centre of the shoe, rather than on the outside. Not only does this offer improved aerodynamics, but a symmetrical closure means an even better custom fit.
The Shot also has a nice little sliding vent on the Vent Carbon sole which allows the rider to tailor the airflow depending on their personal preference and riding conditions. The incredibly stiff 3k carbon sole balances performance and ergonomics perfectly by offering a slight give in the toe area for extra comfort. The heel pad and toe guard are easily replaceable if they become worn following any Froome/Mont Ventoux style running up climbs!
