FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Sidi sizing chart and measure your foot length. It is also highly recommended to try them on in person if possible, as fit can vary between brands and individuals. Consider the thickness of the socks you typically wear when riding.
Are these boots suitable for all types of motorcycle riding?
The Vertigo 2 boots are versatile and suitable for sport riding, touring, and general road use due to their protective features and comfort. However, they are specifically designed for motorcycling and not for walking long distances or other activities.
How often should I replace the toe slider?
The frequency of replacement depends on your riding style. Aggressive cornering on a track will wear them down much faster than casual road riding. Inspect the slider regularly; replace it when the wear reaches the casing to maintain protection and prevent damage to the boot itself.
Can I wash the boots in a washing machine?
No, never put the Sidi Vertigo 2 boots in a washing machine. This can damage the materials, adhesives, and protective components. Clean them manually with a damp cloth and mild soap as recommended in the care instructions.
What is the warranty period for these boots?
Please refer to the official Sidi warranty information provided with your purchase or on the Sidi website for the most accurate and up-to-date warranty details.
How do I maintain the Tecno 3 Iron closure system?
Keep the mechanism clean by wiping it with a dry cloth. Periodically, you can apply a very small amount of silicone lubricant to the steel wire to ensure smooth operation. Avoid using oil-based lubricants that can attract dirt.
Troubleshooting
Dial closure system is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure the steel wire is properly seated within the mechanism. Try operating the dial while slightly loosening the wire by pulling it out. If stiffness persists, a small amount of silicone lubricant on the wire and mechanism might help, but use sparingly.
Ventilation intake button is stuck
Gently try to operate the button. Check for any debris lodged in the mechanism. If necessary, use a soft brush to clean around the button. Avoid forcing it, as this could cause damage.
Ankle braces feel too restrictive or too loose
The ankle braces are designed to offer controlled flex. If they feel too tight, ensure the main closure system is not over-tightened. If they feel too loose, re-check the tightness of the Tecno 3 Iron system. These braces offer lateral support but allow for fore-aft flex essential for riding.
Boot liner feels uncomfortable or causes irritation
Ensure you are wearing appropriate riding socks. Break-in the boots by wearing them for short periods initially. If the issue persists, check for any internal seams or tags that might be causing friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Sidi Vertigo 2 Boots are designed for immediate use. The primary adjustment is the Tecno 3 Iron closure system. To tighten, turn the dial clockwise; to loosen, pull the dial outwards. The zip elastic panel should be fastened after the dial system is secured. Ensure the shin plate aligns comfortably with your shin.
Compatibility: These boots are specifically designed for motorcycle riding. They are compatible with most motorcycle gear, including riding pants that can be tucked in or worn over the boot. They are not designed for use with other types of sporting equipment or for general walking.
Care: To maintain the boots, clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials. The internal lining can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure the boots are thoroughly dried naturally, away from direct heat sources. The replaceable sliders should be inspected regularly and replaced when significantly worn to maintain protection.
