FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all-year-round use?
Yes, the Gore-Tex membrane makes them suitable for year-round use, offering waterproofing for wet conditions and breathability for warmer weather. However, for extreme cold, additional thermal socks might be recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Sidi or the retailer. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing. Trying them on if possible is always the best approach.
Can the arch support be removed if I don't need it?
Yes, the nylon inner sole features a removable arch support insert, allowing you to customize the fit and support according to your preference.
What is the main advantage of the Gore-Tex membrane?
The primary advantage is its ability to be both waterproof and highly breathable, ensuring your feet stay dry from external moisture (rain, puddles) and internal moisture (sweat).
How durable is the Nylon upper?
Nylon is a very durable material known for its abrasion resistance and strength, making the upper of the boots robust and capable of withstanding the rigors of motorcycle riding.
Can these boots be shipped to Canada?
No, unfortunately, this item cannot be shipped to Canada or the United States due to regional distribution restrictions.
Are these boots waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane which is a leading technology for waterproof and breathable performance.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with new motorcycle boots. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. Ensure the closure system is adjusted correctly for a comfortable fit without restricting circulation.
Water ingress despite Gore-Tex membrane
Check that the zipper is fully closed and the Velcro straps are securely fastened, ensuring the gaiter is properly positioned. Inspect the boots for any damage to the fabric or seals. If damage is found, contact customer support. Ensure proper care and cleaning of the Gore-Tex membrane.
Difficulty zipping the boots
Ensure there is no debris caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth if it feels stiff.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
While the rubber sole is designed for grip, extreme conditions like polished wet surfaces or oil spills can reduce traction. Always ride cautiously in such conditions. Ensure the sole is clean from mud or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Sidi Aria Gore-Tex Boots are designed for immediate use upon arrival. Ensure the zipper and Velcro straps are fastened correctly for a snug and secure fit. Adjust the straps to your comfort level, ensuring no pinching or excessive tightness.
Compatibility:
These boots are compatible with most motorcycle gear and riding styles, particularly suited for touring and commuting. They are designed for adult riders.
Care:
To maintain the performance of the Gore-Tex membrane and the overall condition of the boots:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the boots with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Always air dry the boots naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and the Gore-Tex membrane.
- Gore-Tex Care: Periodically, you may want to clean the Gore-Tex membrane itself following the manufacturer's specific instructions to ensure its breathability is maintained. Re-waterproofing treatments can be applied if water absorption is noticed on the outer fabric (not the membrane itself).
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
