FAQs
How do I properly break in the Sidi Vertigo 2 Boots?
Wear the boots around the house for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Use them for shorter rides before embarking on long journeys to allow the materials to mold to your feet.
Can I replace the ankle support braces?
The ankle support braces are integrated into the boot structure and are not designed for user replacement. If damaged, contact customer support or a qualified repair service.
How often should I replace the sliders?
Slider replacement frequency depends on riding style and conditions. Inspect them regularly for wear and replace them when the wear indicator reaches the sole or if they are significantly damaged.
Are these boots waterproof?
The Sidi Vertigo 2 Boots are designed with ventilation for comfort and are not fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not intended for heavy rain or submersion.
What is the main advantage of the dial closure system?
The dial closure system allows for micro-adjustments to achieve a precise and secure fit that can be easily modified while riding, adapting to foot fatigue or swelling.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the Sidi sizing chart, which usually correlates UK sizes with foot measurements in centimeters or inches. It's recommended to try them on if possible or measure your foot accurately.
Troubleshooting
Dial closure system is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the cables are properly seated. Try working the dial back and forth gently. If persistent, inspect for debris around the dial mechanism.
Boots feel too tight or too loose after adjustment.
Practice adjusting the dial in small increments. Ensure the zip elastic panel is fully engaged for a snug fit. Re-adjust before and during long rides as needed.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down.
Ventilation seems ineffective.
Ensure the air vents are clear of any debris or obstructions. The effectiveness can vary with ambient temperature and riding speed.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean, damp cloth.

- Sliders: Inspect the replaceable sliders regularly. Replace them when significantly worn to maintain protection.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use.
