Also brand new for 2016 is the Sidi SD 15 shoe with an “outdoor” oriented sole. What that means is that the sole is made of high performance rubber and has a good balance of density for variable trail conditions. It has been designed to provide excellent grip, even for those times when you have to hike-a-bike. The tread is also made to expel mud and debris. The SD 15 also features Sidi’s Tecno 3 precision ratchet closures for dialing in a secure fit. There is a reinforced heel cup that stabilizes and reinforces the heel. The heel cup also provides additional protection in case you crash. The SD 15 is available in black (shown) and comes in full sizes from 38 to 48. Retail price is $199.99 and it is available now.
