| For the first time in a cycling shoe, the Sidi Carbon Lite Sole introduces a proprietary aerospace material, Aeronet Lite. The Sidi Carbon Lite Sole is engineered to maximize resistance to mechanical stress. Four layers of carbon and Aeronet Lite are moulded into a pattern of longitudinal corrugation increasing rigidity while reducing weight. The Sidi Carbon Lite Sole maintains the optimal stiffness, power transfer of the Full Carbon Sole while significantly decreasing its weight and increasing durability.Vernice: Lorica with a 'patent leather' style finish.For walk ability, the Carbon Lite Sole includes an anti-slip insert at the toe and a replaceable polyurethane heel pad.Carbon LITE sole - new for 2009/2010 Soft Instep Closure System Adjustable Heel Retention Device Caliper Buckle Tecno-II system High Security Velcro Fasteners 3 bolt sole for Shimano SPD-SL, Look and Time cleats.

The adjustable heel retention device reinforces the top of the heel cup and improves fit by closing the back of the shoe more securely around the riders ankle.

For a custom adjustment turn the screw towards the + sign to tighten the heel retention device and towards the - sign to open it. Caliper Buckle: The micrometric closure called Caliper buckle is regulated by lifting the central buckle. In order to completely open, lift together both side buckles, while to slightly loosen the closure during the race the central clip must be lifted. Tecno-II system: Tecno II buckle uses monofilament line and a fine-tooth ratchet for smooth adjustment and even pressure distribution Allows frontal micrometric closure and adapts the upper of the shoe to the shape of the foot for a customised fit. The Tecno II system is now smaller and can be replaced more easily. Serviceable and replaceable. High Security Velcro: High security Velcro straps with integrated locking polymer teeth , that engage onto each other when the strap is closed.
