FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all seasons?
Yes, the WP waterproof lining makes them suitable for wet conditions in various seasons. However, for extreme cold, additional thermal socks may be necessary.
What is D3O protection?
D3O is a smart material that is soft and flexible in its resting state but locks together on impact to absorb and dissipate energy, providing excellent protection without compromising comfort or flexibility.
How do I break in my new Sidi Nucleus WP High Boots?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Flexing them manually and riding in them for short trips can also help speed up the process. Ensure the fit is correct before extensive break-in.
Can these boots be resoled?
The Sidi Nucleus WP High Boots are equipped with a durable Vibram sole, designed for longevity. While Vibram soles are generally high-quality, resoleability depends on the specific construction and is best confirmed with a professional boot repair service.
Are these boots considered waterproof or water-resistant?
The boots feature a WP waterproof lining, indicating they are designed to be fully waterproof, keeping your feet dry even in significant wet conditions.
What does EN 13634:2017 certification mean?
This certification signifies that the footwear meets the European Union's safety requirements for protective footwear used by motorcyclists, ensuring a standard level of protection for impact, abrasion, and cut resistance.
How do I care for the leather on these boots?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For maintaining suppleness and water resistance, consider using specialized leather care products designed for motorcycle boots.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace tension. Loosen or tighten the laces as needed to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are evenly distributed.
Water seeping into the boots
Check the integrity of the WP waterproof lining and the lace closure. Ensure laces are tied tightly and there are no visible tears or damage to the boot material. For persistent issues, consider professional inspection.
Reduced grip from the sole
Clean the Vibram sole with water and a brush to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be reducing traction.
Discomfort after long periods of wear
Ensure the correct size has been selected. For break-in, wear the boots for shorter periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The cushioning is designed for comfort, but individual foot shapes may require an adjustment period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These boots are designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure the laces are properly threaded through all eyelets for a secure and comfortable fit. Adjust the laces to your preference, ensuring they are snug but not constricting.
Compatibility:
The Sidi Nucleus WP High Boots are certified as protective footwear for motorcyclists (EN 13634:2017). They are compatible with most motorcycle foot controls and riding styles, particularly suited for urban riding and light touring. They are designed for adult use.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the leather or waterproof membrane.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically check the waterproof lining. While the WP lining is durable, prolonged exposure to heavy use or harsh cleaning agents may affect its performance. Refer to specialized leather care products for maintaining the material's suppleness and water resistance.
