FAQs
What is D3O technology used in these boots?
D3O is a smart material that is soft and flexible in its free state, but locks together upon impact to absorb and dissipate energy, providing superior impact protection to the ankle, heel, and toe areas.
Are these boots suitable for walking as well as riding?
Yes, the Sidi ARX boots are designed to offer a balance of riding protection and walking comfort, thanks to their flexible construction and grip-focused sole.
How do I clean the suede microfiber parts of the boots?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry away from heat.
What does EN 13634:2017 certification mean?
This certification indicates that the boots meet the European safety standards for protective footwear used by motorcyclists, ensuring a specified level of performance in abrasion resistance, impact cut resistance, and dimensional stability.
Can I replace the laces if they become worn?
Yes, the lock lace system typically uses standard lacing materials. You can purchase replacement laces of a similar type and length if needed.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Try the boots on with the type of socks you typically wear for riding. Adjust the lock laces for a snug fit around the foot and ankle without pinching. Ensure your heel is secure and there is minimal heel lift when walking.
Are these boots available in other colors or sizes?
The Sidi ARX series may be available in other variations. Please check the product listings for available colors and a full range of sizes.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel difficult to tighten or loosen.
Ensure the lock mechanism is fully disengaged before attempting to adjust laces. Check for any debris caught in the lacing system or lock.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable after initial wear.
This is normal for new riding boots. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot.
Water ingress during wet conditions.
While designed for protection, the canvas and suede upper may not be fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for mixed materials (always test on an inconspicuous area first) or wearing waterproof over-boots.
Reduced grip on the sole.
Clean the Vibram sole thoroughly with water and a stiff brush to remove accumulated dirt, mud, or road grime that can reduce traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Initial Fit: Put on the boots with appropriate riding socks. Adjust the lock laces using the webbing lace holder to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the ankle and heel feel supported without restriction.

Care:

- Lining: The mesh lining can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Ensure the interior is dry before wearing.
- Sole: Clean the Vibram sole with water and a brush to remove dirt and debris, ensuring optimal grip is maintained.
