Product Information
Full details
The Sidi Tenacia is a premium cycling shoe designed for enthusiasts who appreciate a blend of heritage aesthetics and modern construction. Ideal for riders seeking a timeless look paired with durable materials, these shoes feature a traditional lacing system and hand-stitched microfiber construction. While they offer exceptional comfort and a secure fit, the classic lacing system may not be as quick to adjust during high-intensity rides compared to modern ratcheting or dial-based closures.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with SPD or Look cleats?
No, the Sidi Tenacia is designed exclusively for cage-style pedals and does not feature mounting holes for modern clipless cleats.
How do I determine my correct size?
Sidi sizing follows standard European cycling sizing. We recommend checking the UK size equivalent and comparing it to your current footwear, as Sidi shoes often have a performance-oriented, snug fit.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the provided Tenacia insole can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if preferred, though it is optimized for the shoe's specific geometry.
Are the shoes waterproof?
While the 1.5mm microfiber is durable and resistant to water, it is not a fully waterproof material. It is suitable for light rain but not submersion.
How should I clean the embroidered logos?
Use a soft brush with a small amount of mild soap and water to gently clean the embroidered areas, avoiding heavy scrubbing that might fray the thread.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during rides
Ensure you are using a double knot and verify that the laces are pulled uniformly across the eyelets.
Microfiber material becomes stiff after getting wet
Allow the shoes to dry slowly at room temperature; once dry, gently flex the material to restore softness.
Difficulty inserting foot into cage pedal
Check your pedal cage tension and ensure the shoe is positioned centrally before engagement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Sidi Tenacia is explicitly designed for use with cage-style pedals. To set them up, ensure your pedals are properly adjusted to accommodate the shoe profile for an optimal connection. Compatibility is limited to traditional pedal cages rather than clipless systems. For care, keep the shoes clean by wiping the microfiber upper with a soft, damp cloth after each ride to remove road grit and mud. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from cracking or losing its shape. Regularly inspect the laces for signs of wear and replace them with standard athletic laces if fraying occurs to ensure your safety and secure fit.
