Description:New for 2008, Sidi’s Dragon 2 features the Carbon Sole Replacement System (SRS), a pure carbon insert reaching from the heel to the toe. The carbon inserts and the Dragon SRS tread are easily removable and replaceable, and the sole accommodates optional toe spikes. The breathable, supple, durable Lorica Microfiber Upper keeps feet comfortable with cooling mesh inserts. T he new heel cup is vented and reflective for added comfort and visibility. The Patented Techno II buckle system and Caliper buckle allow for easy on-the-bike fit adjustment while the soft instep closure system and padded tongue eliminate pressure points. The newadjustable Heel Security System prevents power robbing heel lift with a customized fit. Another feature unique to Sidi, the High Security Velcro® won’t shift or slip.

Price Paid:

Purchased At:
Competative Cyclist
Strengths:
Stiff and comfortable.
Weaknesses:
Soles wear out quickly, screws that hold the soles on fall out, pad inside tongue is not affixed well (falling off), the little dial that tightens the mono strap fell off, the stupid little plastic heel things pop off when I put the shoes on...
I thought I was purchasing the best shoes ever, assuming that you get what you pay for, pretty sure I got ripped. I got these because I was going to the TransAlp and wanted a good quality shoe. By the time I finished the TransAlp they were nearly worn out. Don't get me wrong these are nice shoes that perform well but I think there are better values out there. I assumed that for $400+ these things would hold up well, they have not. I just purchased new soles after using for just 6 months. These are probably some of the best cross country racing shoes (very stiff) available but when I need new ones I will probably look elsewhere.

Strengths:
Sidi half sizes really allow a dialed in fit. Lightweight, stiff, and can be pulled snug very well.
Weaknesses:
Replaceable soles are nice, but they wear down much much faster than the dominator soles... I've been riding them for less than 4 months and I need new soles. It's 70-80 bucks to get new ones. If you keep your feet on the pedals and rarely hike, you'll be fine. If not, stay away from these. You won't save any money replacing these soles.

Bottom Line:
Good if you clean everything you ride. If you plant your feet or run with the bike much, steer clear.
