The final closure on SiDi Ergo 3 shoes is at the heel and I must admit I didn’t really get very excited about this as the benefit is not immediately obvious, until that is, I actually tried it.

It is a really clever little feature and I have it screwed quite a way out so that it really grips my achilles tendon, providing that extra reassurance during hard efforts.
