FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof for heavy rain?
Yes, the Arx WP boots are constructed with waterproof materials and technology designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions, including rain.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the Sidi size chart, which typically correlates foot length in centimeters or inches to the corresponding UK shoe size. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the provided chart.
Can I walk comfortably in these boots off the motorcycle?
Yes, the design incorporates features for walking comfort, such as a supportive sole and flexible ankle areas, allowing for reasonable mobility when dismounted.
How does the D3O ankle protection work?
D3O is a smart material that is soft and flexible in its normal state but locks together and hardens upon impact, absorbing and dissipating energy to protect the ankle.
What is Fortex Technology?
Fortex Technology refers to the durable composite materials used in the construction of the boot, providing a balance of protection, flexibility, and resistance to wear and tear.
How should I store the boots when not in use?
Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
What is the intended gender for these boots?
These specific boots are designed for female riders, indicated by the 'Female' gender attribute. However, Sidi Sport Srl offers similar models for male riders.
Troubleshooting
Laces difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure the laces are clean and free of debris. Check that the lock mechanism is functioning correctly and not obstructed.
Boots feel damp inside despite no visible leaks
The boots may not be fully dry after a previous use or wash. Ensure they are completely air-dried. Check the sock material, as some synthetics can hold moisture.
Stiffness after initial wear
New boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods indoors to gradually conform them to your foot shape. Consistent use will reduce stiffness.
Reduced traction on the sole
Inspect the sole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole with a stiff brush. If significant wear is present, consider professional inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Sidi Sport Srl Arx WP Boots feature a lock lace system with a webbing lace holder. To put them on, first ensure the laces are loosened. Insert your foot and pull the laces to snugness, then secure them using the webbing lace holder. The rear loop aids in pulling the boots on quickly.
Compatibility: These boots are designed for motorcycle riding and general adult use. They are compatible with most motorcycle gear, including riding pants that can be worn over or tucked into the boots depending on rider preference and pant design.
Care: To maintain the waterproof integrity and material condition:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after use. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, consider using a specific waterproofing spray suitable for motorcycle boot materials to refresh the water-repellent properties of the outer shell.
