FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Sidi Nucleus Air shoes are designed for maximum breathability and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
Can I walk comfortably in these shoes off the motorcycle?
Yes, the anatomical profile, ergonomic last, and Materiis compound sole are designed to provide excellent comfort and walkability on various terrains.
What type of riding are these shoes best for?
They are ideal for urban riding, commuting, and light adventure touring where a balance of comfort, protection, and breathability is desired.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Sidi sizing chart and measure your foot length in UK sizing. Compare this to the 'size_adult_foot_uk' attribute. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult customer reviews for fit guidance.
Is the ankle protection bulky?
The integrated D3O® inserts are designed to be flexible and low-profile during normal use, only stiffening upon impact. They should not feel bulky during casual wear.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-tenacity vented fabric with reinforced zones for durability and maximum breathability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Readjust the extended lacing system. Ensure even tension and consider using a different lacing pattern if needed for a more personalized fit.
Ankle protection feels stiff or noticeable
D3O® material is designed to be flexible until impact. Some initial stiffness might be felt as the material conforms to your ankle shape. Ensure the shoe is the correct size and lacing is not overly tight around the ankle.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the Materiis sole offers good grip, all soles can have reduced traction on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Ride with caution and maintain appropriate speeds.
Excessive heat inside the shoe
Ensure the full mesh construction is clear of debris. While designed for maximum airflow, extremely high ambient temperatures can still lead to warmth. Verify lacing is not so tight as to restrict air circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The shoes feature an extended lacing system. To achieve the best fit, start lacing from the bottom eyelets, ensuring even tension across the foot. Adjust the tightness to your preference, focusing on a secure but not constricting feel around the ankle and forefoot.
Compatibility: These low shoes are suitable for motorcycles of all types, particularly for riders who prioritize comfort and versatility for everyday use. They are designed for use with standard motorcycle controls.
Care: To clean the shoes, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the exterior. For the interior mesh, a soft brush and mild soap can be used if necessary, followed by air drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the materials. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before storing them to prevent mold or odors.
