FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, the Gavia ADV Gore boots feature a Gore-Tex membrane, which is a highly effective waterproof and breathable material designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Sidi Sport Srl. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided UK size guide. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can be personal.
What is the primary intended use for these boots?
These boots are designed for touring and adventure motorcycling, suitable for everyday use, long journeys, and varied riding conditions. They offer protection and comfort for extended wear.
Can I use these boots for casual wear off the motorcycle?
While they offer protection, these are specialized motorcycle boots. They are functional for walking short distances but may be less comfortable for prolonged casual wear compared to dedicated casual footwear.
What does the EN 13634:2017 certification mean?
This certification indicates that the boots have been tested and meet the European standard for protective footwear for motorcyclists, ensuring a specific level of protection against impact, abrasion, and other hazards.
How do I care for the reflective inserts?
Clean the reflective inserts gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the reflective coating.
What is the purpose of the shift reinforcement?
The shift reinforcement is a patch located on the boot where the gear lever typically contacts the footwear. It protects the boot material from abrasion and wear caused by frequent gear changes.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
The boots are designed for break-in. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase usage. Ensure the closure system is adjusted correctly for your foot and ankle shape.
Water seeping into the boots
Check that the zipper is fully closed and the Velcro straps are securely fastened. Inspect the boots for any tears or damage to the Gore-Tex membrane or stitching. If damage is found, contact customer support.
Difficulty zipping or unzipping
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. Use a wax-based lubricant on the zipper teeth if it feels sticky.
Poor grip from the sole
The non-slip sole is designed for grip, but effectiveness can be reduced by mud, oil, or wear. Clean the sole regularly. If excessive wear is apparent, consider replacement if possible.

Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a thorough wipe with a clean damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry boots naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials. Ensure the boots are completely dry before storage.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the zipper, Velcro, and sole for wear and tear. Treat leather components (if applicable to specific models) with appropriate leather care products to maintain flexibility and water resistance.
