After the strap on one of my well-worn N**e shoes broke, I thought they were useless. When I discovered that the strap was designed as replaceable, I contacted the manufacturer, but they were of zero help and only wanted to sell me new shoes. Though the Sidi strap is not exactly like the original on my shoes, it certainly has worked to let me squeeze a few more miles out of these old shoes. BikeTiresDirect customer service even proactively offered to discount the straps, leaving my cost as next to nothing.
I bought the Sidi Buckle Straps along with the buckles. They both work great. Bike Tire Direct has the best price for them. I would strongly recommend them to anybody that has worn out or broken buckles or straps.
The caliper buckles shipped are not the ones pictured. The ones pictured (and I needed) have a narrower ratcheting band down the middle. The ones shipped have a ratcheting band all the way across, and do not fit the newer caliper buckles (the ones I also ordered).
saved needing to replace shoes, needed new straps, since i also purchase new buckle, old strap would not fit but customer service advised correctly to get the new strap with the new buckle. cheap fix for 10 year old expensive shoes.
I replaced my old straps on my Sidi shoes because I needed new buckles. I believe the new buckles require the new design of these straps but l probably would have replaced them anyway to extend the life of the shoes. They work perfectly with the new buckles. Great service, price, and fast shipping
The instep closure on my very old Sidi shoes broke.
I thought I would have to spring for new shoes.....ouch.
Stumbled onto BikeTiresDirect. Found all the parts for my shoes...
so replaced them all. Heel pads...were really bad, instep closure, buckle straps
and caliper buckles. Shoes are like brand new.
Well worth the expense and effort.
I'll see you on the road.

After 3 years my Sidi Dominators were getting harder to buckle. I ordered these straps, got them the next day, and installed them in under a minute. The shoes are as easy to buckle as when they were new, and my shoes feel new again.
I broke a Soft Step strap and decided to replace the entire unit. These plus the Soft Step are really easy to switch out, and saved me from wearing duct-taped shoes. Thanks, BTD, for carrying these parts.
