Here’s an interesting
fact. When pro riders get to choose the brand of cycling shoes
they use, more professional cyclists choose Sidi than all other
brands. Combined. Or here’s another one. What’s the #1 shoe brand
among bike shop employees when they have to buy those shoes out
of their own hard-earned paychecks? Sidi again.
Finally, a little
history. Used to be there were two kinds of cycling shoes. The handmade
European kind. And everything else. And you know what? There still
are. Except that now there’s only one 100% European brand of cycling
shoe left in the USA market. So exactly how does Sidi continue
to survive and prosper against all those less expensive Asian
brands? Or to put it another way, what do all those racing professionals
and bike shop employees know that so many other cyclists apparently
don’t? Well, we could tell you. But it’d be so much more fun to
go to your nearest Sidi Authorized Fit Center. And see
for yourself.
 Maser, Italy
A cyclist from the
age of 15, Dino Signori founded SIDI (the company takes its name from
his initials) in 1960. In the beginning SIDI was a craftsman’s workshop
manufacturing mountain sports footwear, but the company gradually
dropped these lines to follow Dino’s passion for two-wheeled sports.
Now in its fifth decade, the SIDI tradition continues under the direction
of the Signori family.
