Eliminate the cold and keep your feet warm and dry in the Defender; specifically designed to provide a high level of moisture regulation, wind protection and comfort, to keep you riding through any extreme weather.
The Defender will protect your feet from cold and wet conditions, thanks to our seam sealed DryS-Tex™ water resistant membrane and strong coated Cordura® upper. A neoprene ankle cover keeps the mud and water out. The interior is lined with warm fleece and EcoStar insulation for warmth and heat retention.
The M250 outsole is equipped with anti-slip lugs and optional toe spikes, to provide reliable traction, walking stability and a powerful pedal stroke. The simple lace up system and a large Velcro closure make it easy to use with or without gloves. Reflective detailing helps keep you visible in darker conditions.
Each shoe in our production is required to meet the highest quality and performance standards. Each DryS-Tex membrane is individually tested twice in our simulated testing facilities for water resistance before constructing the rest of the shoe.
Whether you are riding to work on a cold morning or hitting the snowy trails, the Defender will be ready to tackle any extreme weather that may come your way.
Sidi Size Guide
*Customers switching to Sidi Shoes or from Sidi;s more than 5 years old, may not wear the same size. All Sidi's, except for winter shoes, are built on the same last, but differences in patterns and materials so keep this in mind when switching between Sidi models. Every Sidi Shoe (except triathlon models) from 2002 onwards is stamped with its size and last type (and M indicates Mega or W indicates women's), Usually on the tongue.
Standard Width is considered as a D width
Mega = EE shoe fit 4mm of extra space across the ball of the foot. If you have high-volume orthotics you may feel more comfortable in a mega shoe.
Women fits - "Women specific" shoes are a narrower and smaller version of the regular fit option. The heel and ankle areas have also been narrowed.
How do I know if its a good fit?
Some people have narrow heels, if you know this to be true we recommend getting a shoe with a heel retention device. This will allow the heel to be narrowed.
Is it too small? If you stand up with your shoes on and your toes are touching the front, your shoe is small. You don't want any toes touching the front of the shoe, this will create hot or numb toes on long rides. You want to be able to wiggle your toes a bit, but not feel like they are "sloshing around"
Tip* Try on your new Sidi Shoes with the cycling socks you normally wear
If the shoe doesn't fit? Don't worry, we offer a 1 free resize policy to make sure you are very comfortable on your bike
