FAQs
Are these boots suitable for summer riding?
The Gore-Tex membrane provides breathability, making them suitable for a wide range of temperatures. However, in extreme heat, they may feel warmer than non-waterproof boots. They excel in mixed or wet conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Sidi sizing chart and measure your foot length. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary. This guide is for UK size 9.5.
Can the inner sole be replaced?
Yes, the boots feature a removable arch support and inner sole, allowing for customization or replacement if needed.
What is the primary advantage of the Gore-Tex lining?
The Gore-Tex lining provides a waterproof barrier to keep your feet dry from external moisture while allowing perspiration to escape, ensuring breathability and comfort in various weather conditions.
Are these boots protective for motorcycle accidents?
The boots include plastic protection on the ankle area and a robust construction designed to offer protection during riding. However, specific crash protection levels can vary.
How often should I clean my boots?
It's best to clean your boots after each significant use, especially if exposed to dirt or moisture, to maintain their condition and performance. Regular cleaning also helps the Gore-Tex membrane function optimally.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period of several rides. Wear them around the house to help them conform to your feet.
Water ingress despite Gore-Tex
Ensure the zipper and Velcro closure are fully sealed. Check for any damage to the boots or the Gore-Tex membrane. Clean and dry the boots thoroughly as per care instructions.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Clean the zipper track to remove dirt or grit. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or zipper wax.
Sole feels slippery
Clean the sole with water and a brush to remove mud or debris that might be reducing grip. Ensure the sole is not excessively worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These boots are designed for direct use with no complex setup required. They are compatible with most motorcycle riding gear and do not require special connections.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the boots become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and the Gore-Tex membrane.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before long-term storage.
- Gore-Tex Care: Periodically check the breathability. If performance seems reduced, specific technical washes for waterproof-breathable membranes can help restore performance.
