    I may have a pair of SIDI Ergo 2 Carbon shoes for sale later on today..

    They are usually around 300 euro new-mine are well worn but still in perfect working order-a little faded and a reinforcement leather heel professionally repaired..

    Size 44, so should be perfect for you.

    40 euro.

    Would a set of Shimano A530 pedals fit them?

    The A530 is an SPD pedal, so by fitting the SPD cleats to the SIDI shoes they will indeed work.

    From what I know, the advantage with the A530 pedal system is that there is a flat opposite side to the SPDS cleat side meaning that you can also ride the bike with normal shoes (eg if you are popping out to the shops etc)

    But to answer your specific question, the shoes will accept the SPD cleats perfectly which will fit the A530 pedal. Usually the Shimano pedals come complete with the cleats and screws etc.

    Thank you! How worn are they? Any pictures of them?

    If you PM your details, I will send on a photo by phone.

    I have them about 2 years..They are reasonably well worn but the straps, insoles and buckles are all perfect. The fact that the sole is carbon is a big plus for that type of money.

    I use them as a second pair but just got a new set this afternoon.

    It's Friday and I got a good deal on mine..Yours for 30 euro.

    Whereabouts are you based?

    the worst of the pedals with single sided clips is that thats the side that normally hangs upside down

    Sorry , I mean the side your shoe clips into hangs facing the road so you have to give them a kick to flip them and clip in .
