FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all types of motorcycle riding?
The Sidi ARX boots are designed for general motorcycle riding and offer a balance of protection and comfort. They are certified for motorcycle use (EN 13634:2017) and suitable for daily commuting and touring where walking comfort is also desired.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the Sidi sizing chart and compare with your UK foot measurement. It is highly recommended to try them on in person if possible, as Sidi sizing can differ from standard shoe brands.
Can the D3O ankle protection be removed?
No, the D3O technology is integrated into the boot structure for consistent protection and cannot be removed.
Are the boots waterproof?
The Sidi ARX boots are not fully waterproof but offer water resistance due to their construction. For riding in heavy rain, additional waterproofing treatments may be beneficial.
What is Fortex Technology?
Fortex Technology is an innovative construction engineered to meet motorcycle safety standards while maintaining flexibility for comfortable walking and a casual fit.
How often should I clean my boots?
Cleaning frequency depends on usage. Regularly brush off dry dirt. For deeper cleaning, address stains as they appear, ensuring the boots dry thoroughly afterward.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen.
Ensure the lock lace mechanism is clear of debris. Check that the laces are not tangled within the eyelets. Adjust the tension gradually.
Ankle feels stiff during initial wear.
This is normal for new boots with protective technology. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Water ingress after riding in wet conditions.
While not fully waterproof, the ARX boots offer some resistance. For heavy rain, consider additional waterproofing sprays suitable for canvas and suede, and ensure all closures are secured. Allow boots to dry naturally after exposure to moisture.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
The Vibram sole is designed for grip, but performance can vary on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean from mud or debris. New boots may take a short period to reach optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Sidi ARX boots require no initial setup beyond ensuring the laces are adjusted for a secure and comfortable fit. The lock laces system allows for precise tensioning.
Compatibility: These boots are designed for motorcycle riding and general adult use. They meet the EN 13634:2017 safety certification.
Care:
- Upper: The canvas and suede microfiber upper should be cleaned gently. Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Sole: The Vibram rubber sole can be cleaned with a brush and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it is dry before storage.
- Lining: The mesh lining can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Allow to dry thoroughly.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a boot bag, to maintain their shape and prevent damage.
