Product Information
Full details
The Sidi Polvere is designed for gravel enthusiasts and off-road cyclists who prioritize a secure, customizable fit and reliable power transfer. Featuring a traditional lace-up design and a performance-oriented nylon/glass fiber sole, these shoes offer exceptional comfort during long days on loose terrain and steep climbs; however, the lace-up system may lack the on-the-fly micro-adjustability found in modern dial-closure systems.

FAQs
Are these shoes compatible with road bike pedals?
No, the Sidi Polvere is designed for two-bolt mountain bike/gravel style cleats, not three-bolt road cleats.
Can I replace the laces if they break?
Yes, standard high-quality cycling or athletic laces can be used to replace the original ones.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are made of durable, water-resistant microfiber, but they are not fully waterproof or seam-sealed.
How do I choose the right size?
Sidi sizing follows standard European sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot in millimeters and compare it to the brand's specific size chart.
Are these suitable for racing?
Yes, their lightweight construction and efficient power transfer make them highly capable for gravel racing.
How should I clean the microfiber upper?
Use mild soap and lukewarm water with a soft brush, then air dry completely away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose during long rides
Use a double knot or tuck the excess lace ends under the cross-lacing to ensure they remain secure.
Heel slippage while pedaling
Ensure the laces are tighter toward the ankle area and verify that your heel is fully seated in the reinforced cup before tightening.
Sole feeling too stiff for walking
The sole is designed for a performance balance; ensure your cleats are recessed properly to avoid clicking on hard surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed for use with two-bolt mountain bike style cleats (SPD). To set up, align your cleats with the threaded inserts on the nylon sole according to your preferred biomechanical position. For care, keep your shoes performing well by wiping off caked mud with a damp cloth after rides. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with newspaper to draw out moisture slowly; avoid direct heat sources, which can damage the microfiber upper and adhesives.
