Review by Old and in the Way
My heel pads wear out every year. In January I pop a new set of heel pads on. Perfect replacement. There is a right and left side by the way.

Always good to find the hard to find small replacement parts to keep your equipment in top shape.
Review by FFA rider
They wear out too quickly but it's my only option. Wish they had different models for sale that don't wear out so quickly.

Sidi shoes last long enough to wear out the heel pad. Not always easy to find.

The heels of my shoes were in need of this product. I really enjoyed having new heel pads in my shoes.

Minor modification is required to fit the heel pieces onto older shoes. Use a razor blade to cut off the nubs. They screw into place easily once the modification is completed.

Finally got to buying a new set of heel pads (mine were almost completely worn through). These were easy to install on my shoes. Word of advice, if you have older SIDI shoes, you will have to cut off the little knobs on the bottom to make it smooth, but the go on with no problem otherwise and the screw is much better than the originals.
Cheap and easy!

As an fyi, if you have never replaced your heels before - the red rubber and grey plastic undercover, is all one piece.
Review by Clinton
There are two locking bumps that work on the newer shoes. The bumps keep the heel pad in place instead of revolving around the mounting screw. If you have an older model Genius, you should examine your heel after removing to look for a tiny indentation, mine (5.5) have only one per shoe. I then took a Dremel tool and sanded off the unnecessary bump. As always with SIDI, you get the option to upgrade your old faithfuls instead of planned obsolescence.

Finally, got a pair of these to replace my wornout ones. Fit is perfect. Installation takes just a few minutes. They don't rotate loose like the originals (better screw).

An excellent value and simple way to protect my Sidi cycling shoes. Easy to replace and an inexpensive way to save the sole of my shoe.

Extremely easy to replace, just make sure to do it before the screw head is shaved down completely on the shoe otherwise it could be difficult to replace.

I ordered these knowing that they have the little tabs for the newernon-carbon shoes. The tabs were not too hard to break off, but filing them down to the silver concave backing took some work. Eventually they fit my road shoes. My husband got a pair too and since his shoes are newer he didn't need to pop the tabs off.

Review by Cycle diva
These replacement heel pads are reasonable and do the job. They're difficult to find, glad I found them here.

Sidi's are great shoes but the heel pads wear quickly. These replacements are the bargain of the millenium!

I had my Sidi Wire shoes for two years and the heel pads were very worn. I was worried about damaging the carbon sole but then I discovered these replacement heel pads. They were so inexpensive that I bought two pair. They install easily and now I feel like I can get another two years out of these shoes before wires wear out.
