We're pretty excited about the Women's Alba Carbon Cycling Shoe from Sidi. Sidi is well known to the serious cyclist and if you're looking to step up your road cycling shoe game or maybe investing in your first pair of cycling shoes, the Alba's provide quality, fit, and comfort that we've come to expect from Sidi.

It also allows you to adjust the fit on the fly according to the weather conditions and your efforts. Across the top of your foot, the Soft Instep 3 strap distributes pressure evenly so you can concentrate on the scenery and not aching feet. Sidi uses two hook-and-loop straps over the lower foot for lightweight and a customized...
