FAQs

What type of cycling are these shoes best suited for?

The SILVIS XC shoes are best suited for recreational mountain biking, gravel riding, and cross-country cycling, offering a balance of performance, durability, and comfort.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Sidi Sport Srl and measure your foot length. The UK 6.5 size is indicated for this specific variant. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or different insoles for enhanced comfort or support if needed.

Are these shoes waterproof?

These shoes are not designed to be waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not intended for riding in heavy rain or through deep water.

What is the stiffness rating of the sole?

The product description indicates a stiffness rating generally between 7-9 out of 10, signifying a good balance of stiffness for power transfer and some flexibility for comfort and walking.

How often should I clean my cycling shoes?

Clean your shoes after particularly muddy rides or when they appear visibly dirty. Regular light wiping can help maintain their condition.

Troubleshooting

Dial system is difficult to tighten or loosen

Ensure the laces are not tangled. Check for any debris obstructing the dial mechanism. Gently try to clear any visible debris.

Foot discomfort after short rides

The shoes may require a break-in period. Ensure the Dial system is adjusted correctly – not too tight. Consider trying different sock thicknesses.

Sole feels too stiff or too flexible

The stiffness is a characteristic of the carbon composite sole, designed for performance. For less stiffness, consider shoes with a higher proportion of nylon in the sole. For more stiffness, look for full carbon soles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction suitable for varied terrain.
  • Secure and adjustable fit system for personalized comfort.
  • Provides good support and stability for recreational cycling.
  • Offers a balance of performance and comfort for everyday use.

Cons

  • Stiffness rating might be insufficient for highly competitive cyclists.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • TPU fabric, while durable, may not offer the same breathability as mesh alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your cycling cleats are properly installed on your pedals before attaching the shoes.
  2. Put on the shoes and adjust the Dial system for a snug, comfortable fit. Turn the dial clockwise to tighten and pull the dial outwards to release.

Compatibility:

  • These shoes are designed to be compatible with most standard 2-bolt or 3-bolt cleat systems commonly found on mountain bikes and gravel bikes. Always ensure your cleats are compatible with your pedals.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
