Sidi Ergo 3 Vented Carbon Vernice Shoes 2015

SiDi Ergo 3 Vented Carbon Vernice Shoes

As used by the quintessential style icon of Italian cycling, Flippo Pozzato the Sidi Ergo 3 Vented Carbon Vernice Shoe is at the pinnacle of stylish, cycling footwear. Yet do not be mislead into thinking these shoes are all style and no substance. Sidi has spent numerous hours refining and developing these shoes, using state of the art technology to create a comfortable and high performance road shoe.

The Ergo 3 is a follow on from the excellent Ergo 2. It could have been quite easy for Sidi to have just renamed their latest offering but they did not sit on their laurels and instead made some nice cosmetic changes and made it lighter.

Just like Sidi’s top of the range Wire shoe, the Ergo 3 has used many of the same features. Both share the recently launched Sidi Vent Carbon Sole®, allowing for impressive levels of airflow, keeping your feet at the ideal temperature. The vent closure system is a technological gem, allowing you to open and close the vent depending on how warm your feet feel. This makes it a versatile shoe to use throughout the year, whether in the depths of winter or heat of summer.

Comfort and durability are mainstays of Sidi’s ethos and with replacement heal and new for the Ergo 3 a replaceable toe &#47 vent cover, making this a great investment and a shoe that will last you for years. The sole has also been specifically designed to create a perfect cradle for high comfort and performance.

As with all of the top of the line shoes in the Sidi range, the Ergo 3 uses the acclaimed Adjustable Heel Security System®, or HSS as it is more commonly known. It has been a mainstay of many Sidi products for over five years. Giving the rider even more adjustment options with a neat allen key opening and closure system. This prevents heel rub and the shoe slipping, meaning you will feel confident you are putting 100% off your effort through the pedals.

Why change a part that works, that is Sidi’s thought process behind the two way caliper ratchet and double Velcro closure system to provide a secure and planted feel, without creating pressure points, whilst being easy to adjust when riding along.

Comfort is further provided with a Soft Instep 2 closure system, which as with the heel and ratchet is fully replaceable, allowing you to keep these shoes performing at their best year in year out.

The high security Velcro strap has a red teeth design that locks together preventing unwanted loosening. The Techno 2 Buckle is a neat, dial that allows for easy adjustment when riding. With a nylon cord, both flexible and strong, all it takes is a light press of both buttons to release the buckle, whilst use the toggle and it allows for millimetre precise tightening over the whole foot evenly, preventing pressure points.

Ideal if you want to feel that extra secure feeling, as you ready yourself for a sprint. Of course with all Sidi products it is both serviceable and replaceable.
