Fresh Goods Sunday - Sidi Laser Vernice road shoes

As you might know i only use sidi shoes (apart from my 45nrth winter boots) and have some that are well over 15 years old and still going strong. Yes they are expensive to buy but they have never dropped to pieces on me yet. Angus was complaining his Scottt road soes were too tight so this is the last pair of road shoes im buying him, so he was treated to a proper pair. The rrp is £225 but we got them from Westbrook Cycles for £118.78 inc next day delivery, not bad! They even fit him so pray to god his feet have finally stopped growing. I would have preferred them in the black option but none left in his size. Here is the tech guff on them -  

Soft Instep 2

The Soft Instep Closure System is a wide, anatomically curved strap combined with a soft, thermo-formed EVA pad that distributes pressure evenly over the instep area. The SOFT INSTEP CLOSURE SYSTEM is adjustable from both sides, to perfectly center the EVA pad over a high or low instep. The system eliminates the need for the High Instep Extender. The Soft Instep Closure System is replaceable.
Caliper Buckle
The micrometric closure called “CALIPER BUCKLE” is adjustable by lifting the central buckle. In order to completely open, lift together both side buckles, or push the center button to slightly loosen one tooth at the time. The system is also adjustable during a race.
High Security Velcro
High Security Velcro straps with integrated locking polymer teeth, that engage onto each other when the strap is closed. This feature makes the closure more secure and the strap becomes unmoveable.
Sidi Heel Cup
The reinforced heel keeps the foot in a optimal position and avoids the shoe being deformed by extreme performance or prolonged pressure.
Replaceable Heel Pad
For walkability, Sidi cycling shoes include a replaceable polyurethane heel pad.
Eleven Carbon Composite Sole
Eleven Carbon Composite Sole is made with two different materials blended together, nylon and carbon fibre. It is made out of injected Carbon Fiber in a matrix of Nylon. The Nylon used doesn’t absorb water and doesn’t lose rigidity in hot or humid weather or as it ages. The result is a significantly lighter and stiffer sole.

Swapped over the Speedplay cleats and they are ready for some action on the roads, just hope he keeps them clean lol!
