FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with standard MTB pedals?
Yes, the Aertis is designed for use with standard mountain bike (SPD-style) cleat systems.
Can I replace the rubber grips on the sole?
Yes, the rubber inserts are replaceable, which helps maintain traction and protects the underlying nylon sole.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Sidi shoes typically feature a performance-oriented fit; users with wider feet may find them snug, so ensuring correct sizing is essential.
How should I clean the suede-effect upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt and a lightly dampened cloth for stains. Avoid using heavy solvents or washing machines.
What is the primary function of the Firmor system?
The Firmor system is a lateral support structure that stabilizes the midfoot to improve power transfer and prevent energy loss.
Troubleshooting
Cleats feel loose during a ride
Check the mounting bolts for correct tension and ensure they are tightened to the recommended torque settings.
Difficulty walking on slippery surfaces
Inspect the rubber inserts on the sole for excessive wear and replace them if the tread depth has significantly diminished.
Pressure points during long rides
Ensure the shoe is properly sized and consider adjusting the tension of the closure system to distribute pressure more evenly across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines for setup and maintenance:
- Cleat Installation: Align your MTB-compatible cleats with the mounting points on the nylon sole, ensuring they are tightened securely to the manufacturer's torque recommendations.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for shorter rides initially to allow the suede-effect material and lateral support to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away mud and debris after each ride using a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the suede-effect finish.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the rubber sole inserts for wear. If they become heavily eroded, replace them to maintain consistent grip and protect the integrity of the nylon outsole.
