Shiny New Products Episode 3 - Sidi Wire 2 Shoes

First look at the brand new, and very grey, Sidi Wire 2 shoes

It’s not every day that famous Italian shoe brand Sidi releases a new product, so the launch of the all-new Wire 2 is a pretty big deal.

They were actually teased earlier this year at Eurobike but they’ve only just become available here in the UK, and I’ve managed to get my hands on a pair for testing. Lucky me!  hit play on the video above to discover what's new about the Wire 2 shoes.

 

- 13 of the best performance road cycling shoes — stiff shoes for fast feet from £50 to £900

The new Wire 2 carries many of the key features of the previous shoe but adds a number of refinements, some of which are clearly inspired by the Shot launched last year. But probably the biggest talking point at the moment is this new matt grey finish. What do you think? Answer in the comments section below please.

Matt grey is ok. Would prefer in matt black and as Meonshore posted, more cleat adjustment.

Less bothered about the colourway - more concerned that Sidi continue to offer very limited cleat positioning with little room to move the cleats backwards.

Had a pair of the original wires, loved the styling - couldn't get a good cleat position on them. Sold them and went back to Specialized.

Would it kill them to put a little more adjustment in there ?

I’m pretty sure that any adjustment of cleat position is granted by the cleat itself, as the screw holes in the sole are typically fixed in place

Not always as most shoes have fore/aft movement at the cleat fitment holes as well as being able to move the cleat itself/
