Shoes at Yellow Jersey
We're picky about shoes. We primarily sell SiDi products and have found no better shoe since 1977. You may have noticed our SiDi link elsewhere in our website but in case you missed it here's another link to SiDi

they look nicer in the flesh

We stock sizes - deeply - in

    SiDi Genius-5 shoes
  • SiDi Genius 5 medium, $229.95
  • SiDi Genius 5 narrow, $229.95
  • SiDi Genius 5 Mega wide, $229.95
  • SiDi Genius 5 Ladies, $229.95

We stock sizes 35 through 52 in widths and both black and color mesh version

We keep a smattering of sizes in SiDi triathlon products, SiDi Ergo-1 Carbon, the $399.95 version that rides and fits exactly like the Genius, and the Signature Carbon as well. We are committed. We stock all the accessories, insoles, buckles, small parts, cleats, etc you could ever want. and we even do repairs to crashed SiDi shoes

In the offroad format, we keep a random smattering only in the offroad/cross Dominator-5, Dominator-5 Women, Dragon models, again including both narrow and a Mega (wide) besides the standard width and Ladies' shoes There is no difference in fit and no difference in quality among these Italian shoes although obviously features vary. I mean, hey, some guys just need a carbon sole and who are we to question that?

SiDi began a second series in 2003. That series is less expensive and now well coordinated into the SiDi 'normal Italian' system for fit and quality. Call for details or click to SiDi above.

SiDi shoes were developed by a genius Italian named Dino Sigorelli.
That's written, SIgnorelli, DIno in European. So now you know that!

With perfect timing, just as I was engaged in a torrid affair with a smart and charming Vegan cyclist , SiDi changed their uppers from dead cows to the current DuPont Lorica material. The Lorica material looks and feels just like top quality Italian processed leather, but it's not leather..
Years ago the advice on cycling shoes was 'buy 'em tight - - they stretch'. That is no longer the case.
Modern DuPont Lorica shoes will not hold water so they fit the same today as they will in five or ten years. As a bonus, they will not smell, rot or mold and you can clean them easily with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.
Oh, and they are 100% Buddhist /Vegan compatible. No dead cows were used in the fabrication of this product

Confused? Did we forget something? Just email us!

Absolutely NO returns on special order shoes!!


If you have ever owned Italian shoes you're already familiar with the great fit. SiDi goes even better by making these shoes extremely serviceable and we stock small parts for them. SiDi's buckle system is analogous to a toestrap- lift to click just a bit tighter and press to release one click looser. It's neat to be able to do that with one touch during a climb.
We realize that professional styled shoes are not appropriate for every rider and so we've found two models of more casual shoe that fit well and work fine. Either of these are $79.95. Answer Speeders go up to size 48 in half sizes in a black and blue low cut fashionable modern design. Lake HiTops are classic black on black and accomodate the big guys with a size 50.

We stock these models only in these colors only

The world is full of shoes but we have no patience for poor quality or poor fit. The Answer Speeder is a medium width shoe with optional laces and normal SPD type inserts already installed. The Lake MX151P has a closed waterproof sole. You may tear out the insert (just grab it with a plier and pull) and drop in the threaded "bow tie" inserts that are included. Either of these are fine for just walking around and perfect for the kind of riding that includes scrambling through the mud with your bike over your shoulder or a short ride to breakfast. If you don't want to announce yourself with the clip-clop sound of hardsoled shoes, either of these look and sound and feel just like your sneakers except stiffer under the ball of your foot for a comfortable ride.

Here's how to order shoes if there's no possible way to come in and try them on.

If you know you wear a weird shoe size like a 15 EEEE or a compound last size 4 AAA please don't order these normal medium width shoes. If you find that the size 39 you ordered is a little big and you're pretty sure the 38-1/2 will be right you may exchange them but you pay the return postage and we bill you the second postage as well. We're happy to accomodate exchanges or returns as long as the shoes are absolutely as new .

    Nota Bene!
  • Please Note Well
  • If you tear out the bottom panels on the Lake shoes they are yours.
  • No returns unless perfectly as new!
  • If you get them dirty they are yours.
  • No returns unless perfectly as new!
  • If you cut away part of the sole they are yours.
  • No returns unless perfectly as new!
  • If you even cut the laces shorter they are yours.
  • No returns unless perfectly as new!
  • We only accept exchanges or returns if the next customer gets the shoes completely as new.
  • No returns unless perfectly as new!
  • That's reasonable, right?

Try on your new shoes indoors and make sure they fit. Years ago cycling shoes were made of thin leather and stretched to fit. Today's modern materials (there's no leather here, vegans) do not stretch. They will not break in. They are not supposed to be tight. You can add an orthotic insert but, except for that, your new shoes come out of the box with the same fit they will have next year. When you try on bike shoes for the first time you will think they are too big. That's because bike shoes are cut much rounder at the front both horizontally and vertically than dress shoes. That's just the way it is and it's that way so your toes have plenty of room. If there's any pressure against your toenails your shoe is too small.

Click to order below and include your daytime telephone number, shoe size and model, shipping address and credit card number. Wisconsin residents get to contribute an additional 5.5% for something but I forgot what it's for. Shoes ship to addresses in the continental USA for nine bucks. We will not ship until we confirm by email. If you need a size we don't have today, your card is not billed until the day we ship them. You may also order through PayPal.

We price every pair of shoes as they arrive. On any given day, due to our suppliers' increases over time, you may reasonably find SiDi shoes on our shelf at twenty dollars less than another identical pair next to them. Nothing is 'wrong' . Please buy the less expensive shoes first. If you recall the sensible accounting principle FIFO, we'll go with that.
Thanks again,

2007 Shoe Clearance!
