Product Information
Full details
The Sidi Silvis XC is a high-performance cycling shoe specifically engineered for female mountain bikers who demand durability and efficiency on rugged terrain. Featuring a stiff carbon composite sole and a precision dial adjustment system, these shoes provide exceptional power transfer and a secure, customizable fit for long days on the trail. While they offer premium protection against dirt and debris, new riders should note that the stiff race-oriented sole requires a brief break-in period for maximum comfort during hike-a-bike sections.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with road bike pedals?
No, the Sidi Silvis XC is designed for 2-bolt MTB style pedal systems and is not compatible with 3-bolt road pedal cleats.
How do I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush and a damp cloth with mild soap to remove dirt. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
Can I replace the adjustment dials?
Yes, Sidi offers replacement parts for their dial closure systems if they sustain damage over time.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The upper is designed to be protective against debris and splash, but it is not fully waterproof.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials.
Does the size UK 5 fit true to size?
Sidi shoes typically follow a performance fit; if you are between sizes, we recommend consulting a size chart or trying them on with your preferred cycling socks.
Troubleshooting
Dial tension feels uneven across the foot
Fully release the dial, ensure the laces are not twisted, and re-tighten while standing to allow the material to settle.
Cleats are slipping during use
Check that the cleat bolts are fully tightened and ensure the mounting interface is free of debris before installation.
Discomfort on the top of the foot
Ensure the anatomical tongue is centered correctly before tightening the dial; re-adjust the tension to be slightly looser.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your shoes, mount your mountain bike cleats to the sole using the provided alignment guides. Ensure the bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications to prevent them from vibrating loose. These shoes are compatible with standard 2-bolt MTB pedal systems. For care, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after every ride to remove mud and grit. Avoid using harsh solvents or high-pressure washers, as these can damage the upper materials. If the interior becomes wet, remove the insoles and air dry them at room temperature; do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this may warp the carbon components.
