Sidi Genius 5 Fit Carbon

OK, to be honest I can't really give you a review of the Sidi Genius 5 Fit Carbon road shoes, since I just bought them. (But you can read some reviews here!) But for a good price... especially for a good price, actually, they look super. They're also made in Italy, which means that the man or woman who made this pair gets a fair wage, weekends off, statutory holidays and can say what they want without risking to be punished. I e, they weren't made in a sweatshop. That's super cool.

Sidi also writes about them that they incorporate features of resistance, stability, lightness, transpirability, water-repellency and eco-friendliness. (Whatever that means in practice.) They are "manufactured using the “Water-Tech” water treatment. Lower environmental impact, less noxious emissions into the air and into the work environment and the fact that not solvents, but water-based products were used, is beneficial to the environment as well as the final user." That's super cool as well.

They will look really nice together with my bike, and I'm pretty sure I can make them look good together with the rest of my outfit as well. Oh yeah, and they are supposed to enhance my performance and function well too, right? Let's also hope that they will work together with my pedals.

Well, time will tell how they'll work, with the pedals and with my feet. If you want I'll give you a review of them. (Actually I might give you a review of them anyway.) But until then I'm just happy with my purchase, and think that these shoes will look great together with a pair of de Marchi socks. Made in Italy as well.

Ride safe!
