My shoes had older style buckles but this newer replacement works great and is easy to change. Actually fits a bit tighter than the old style. I love my shoes so this easy fix is a really appreciated so I can continue to use my shoes and avoid the high cost of new shoes.
Genuine Sidi parts - easy to replace
Please note this is the current (as of 2018) Sidi replacement buckle, I did not have to swap the strap on my 2014 shoes, but I have some 2003s for which the standard is different. Swapped out for a useless sproinged buckle in two minutes. Way cheaper than new shoes.
Updated Sidi 5's to 7's
I was able to install the buckles on my shoes in just a couple of minutes. All of the necessary parts for installation were included, except for the required tools which I already had. The buckles work well and I am satisfied with the outcome.
I bought these to replace the buckles on my Genius 5's (the springs on the old buckles just stopped working-both left and right simultaneously). I tried inserting the strap into the new buckle, but the strap was too big (I didn't read the part about the old strap not fitting with the new buckle). The problem was these two little plastic tabs that were preventing the strap from entering the buckle. So I cut these little tabs off and now the strap fits fine. It's not a perfect fit because once the strap is secure in the buckle, the red part is raised a bit, which tells me the newer strap is probably thinner and less wide...? This does not bother me, though, because they are functioning properly.
The buckles wear out. Heres a replacement
Two big crashes this year and two wasted buckles. Thankfully the buckles are not only easy to replace but also reasonably priced. My straps were getting a bit beat up so I replaced them as well and everything felt like new.
The new ratchets work very well. Easy motion and a definite click, whether tightening or backing off. I didn't realize that the old ones were getting progressively worse to use. I only replaced them when one broke.
I like the way this buckle system works. It is easy to use during a race with gloves on
Other shoes dont allow replacements but Sidi Does! and when you can replace the buckle and not the shoe, what a concept. The work perfectly!
Easy to install and use, and fits my Sidi road shoes. But I believe that there are two sizes to be aware of, and when ordering these buckles it's a good idea to order matching replacement buckle straps with them.
Fast shipping and packaged well.
These guys are the real deal.
I prefer to use them whenever I can.
This is exactly what I needed, I hit a rock with the side of my foot and broke a buckle. Glad these are available.
Damaged practically new buckle in a crash. In the way past it was difficult and expensive to get SIDI replacement parts. This was both easy and inexpensive.
love my old pair of Sidi's and found one of the buckles had a broken spring. Replaced with a single screw and good as new. Much cheaper than a new pair of shoes and no break in period required.
Buckle for my Sidi cycling shoes. My old buckle was getting jammed, and these new ones did the trick. Took 5 minutes and two screws to switch out on both shoes. Really easy.
The old parts were easy to remove and the new parts were easy to install. They made my shoes like new again. Well worth the money spent
Replaced the original buckles. With replacements like these no need to spend big for new shoes.
Easy to order and arrived on time
