Hello

I have shimano r088shoes but they are old and not very rigide
Im looking for sidi shoes , the model sidi kaos
is it a good choise? im a heavy rider ( 93 kg ) and i have slim feets

The only problem is perhaps my slim hill , im afraid it can slip if im pedaling hard, is it possible with sidi kaos ?



Thanks

    I know about big hills, steep hills and long hills but slim hills I’ve never come across.

    I would have thought there would be no problem, and having slim feet is ideal as most people's problems are with Sidis being too narrow.
    PS - I have read British born and bred natives struggle to write a coherent post. Give the guy a break.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    The Kaos has a carbon sole. Only things that need concern is fit and comfort.

    The higher (more expensive) versions have adjustable heel width. Unfortunately your only option is to tighten the top strap enough that it doesn't happen. Should still be comfortable though.
    Personally, I like the top strap tight and the lower ratchet quite loose.
