FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with road bike pedals?
No, the Sidi Aertis is designed for two-bolt mountain bike cleat systems (SPD style) and is not compatible with three-bolt road cleats.
Can I replace the heel pads?
Yes, the outsole includes replaceable rubber inserts to ensure you maintain grip as the tread wears down over time.
Does the suede material require a protective spray?
While not strictly required, a water and stain repellent spray formulated specifically for suede can help extend the life and appearance of the material.
Is the sizing consistent with other Sidi models?
Sidi sizing generally remains consistent across their series, but we recommend measuring your foot length and consulting our specific size guide for the UK 7.5 fit.
How do I tighten the shoe while riding?
Simply turn the dial clockwise to increase tension; turn it counter-clockwise or lift the release mechanism to loosen the fit.
Troubleshooting
Dial tension feels inconsistent
Check the cable routing for debris or kinks. Clean the dial mechanism with compressed air to remove trail grit.
Cleat movement or noise
Check that the cleat bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specification. Apply a small amount of thread-locker if they continue to loosen.
Difficulty cleaning suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt. Do not machine wash, as this can degrade the suede finish.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent lateral stability via Firmor system
- Precise fit adjustment with the dial closure
- High-efficiency power transfer for trail riding
- Replaceable parts extend the life of the footwear
- Superior traction for off-bike trekking
Cons
- Suede material is harder to clean than synthetic leather
- May require a break-in period for the stiff upper
- Premium construction comes at a higher weight than racing-only shoes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For setup, the Aertis is compatible with standard two-bolt mountain bike cleat systems. Ensure all cleat bolts are greased before installation to prevent seizing. Regarding care, because the upper is constructed from a suede-effect material, avoid soaking the shoes in water or using harsh industrial detergents. If the shoes become caked in mud, allow the mud to dry completely before using a soft-bristled brush to gently remove the debris. If deep cleaning is necessary, use a damp cloth and specialized suede cleaner. Always store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and remove the insoles after a particularly humid ride to prevent odors and moisture buildup.
