Product Information
Full details
The Sidi TAURUS GTX boots are designed for adult female riders undertaking adventure touring and off-road excursions. They offer a key benefit of all-terrain control and durable protection with a waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex lining. A potential caveat is the nuanced fit adjustment required by the dual dial closure system. Key features include a supple microfiber and TPU upper, a precise dual NUUN 001M dial closure, a 3-point flexible ankle support, an adjustable tibia fit, and a multi-surface rubber sole.

FAQs
How do I clean the microfiber and TPU exterior?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.
Can the NUUN 001M dials be replaced?
Yes, the TAURUS GTX boots are designed with replaceable components, including the closure system. Consult the manufacturer or a certified repair center for replacement parts and service.
How do I ensure the Gore-Tex® membrane remains effective?
Regularly clean the boots and use specialized cleaners for waterproof-breathable fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat when drying. Consider occasional re-waterproofing treatments.
What is the intended use for these boots?
These boots are designed for adventure touring and off-road riding, offering durability, protection, and comfort for long-distance travel and varied terrain.
Are these boots suitable for very cold weather?
The Gore-Tex® membrane provides climate adaptability and waterproofing, making them suitable for a range of conditions. For extreme cold, consider layering with appropriate thermal socks.
How do I adjust the tibia fit?
The tibia fit features a stretch panel and wide opening that can be adjusted to accommodate different calf sizes for a comfortable and secure fit.
What is the lifespan of the Materiis rubber sole?
The lifespan of the sole depends on usage and terrain. It is designed for durability and grip, and the boot's serviceable design allows for potential replacement of worn components.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty adjusting dials
Ensure the laces are not excessively tight before attempting to turn the NUUN 001M dials. Try loosening the dials slightly before re-tightening for a finer adjustment.
Water ingress despite Gore-Tex®
Check for damage to the boot's exterior or seams. Ensure the Gore-Tex® lining is intact and that the boot has been properly cared for according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Re-apply waterproofing treatments if necessary.
Ankle stiffness or discomfort
Ensure the 3-point flex system is properly engaged and that the tibia fit is not too restrictive. Try different sock thicknesses. Break-in period may be required for optimal flexibility.
Sole losing grip
Clean the sole thoroughly to remove mud or debris. If the rubber compound shows significant wear, consider replacement if parts are available, or consult a professional for sole repair options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use. Ensure the dual NUUN 001M dials are loose before sliding your foot in. Once the boot is on, tighten the dials progressively until a snug and comfortable fit is achieved. Adjust the tibia fit by ensuring the stretch panel accommodates your calf without pinching.
Compatibility: The TAURUS GTX boots are designed to be compatible with most adventure and touring motorcycles. They are suitable for use with most standard rear-set foot controls and can accommodate various types of riding socks.
Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your boots:
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Gore-Tex® Care: For the Gore-Tex® membrane, follow specific care instructions for waterproof-breathable fabrics. Typically, this involves gentle washing with specialized detergents and occasional re-waterproofing treatments.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not use hairdryers or radiators.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a well-ventilated area. Replaceable parts are available for long-term maintenance.
